We're dividing 748718 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 748718 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 42 from 74.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 328 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
328 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 294 away from 328, we end up with 34.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 347 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 347 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we take 336 away from 347, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 111 / 42

On to step 5:
42 goes into 111 2 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1782.0
Subtract 84 from 111 to get 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 can be fit into 278 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17826.0
Subtracting 252 from 278 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17826.6
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17826.61
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17826.619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17826.619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17826.61904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17826.619047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17826.6190476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17826.61904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17826.61904761 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
