We're dividing 754495 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 754495.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 75 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 75 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 75 leaves us with 33.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 334 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 334 7 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 294 away from 334, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 404 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 404 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 179.0
Deduct 378 from 404 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 269 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 17.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1796.0
If we subtract 252 from 269, we get 17.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 175 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 175 4 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17964.0
If we take 168 away from 175, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17964.1
Deduct 42 from 70 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17964.16
Deduct 252 from 280 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17964.166
Subtracting 252 from 280 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 17964.166 with a remainder of 0.0028.
