707689 ÷ 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 707689.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 70, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 287 6 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 252 away from 287, we end up with 35.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 356 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 356 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 168.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 336 from 356.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 208 4 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1684.0
Subtracting 168 from 208 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 409 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16849.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 378 from 409.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16849.7
Subtract 294 from 310 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16849.73
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16849.738
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16849.738
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16849.73809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16849.738095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16849.7380952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16849.73809523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16849.73809523, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
