We're dividing 718289 by 42 
We want to divide 718289 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 42

Step 2:
71 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 71 leaves us with 29.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 298 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 298 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 294 from 298, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 42 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171.0
If we subtract 42 from 42, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 42

On to step 5:
8 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1710.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 42

Step 6:
89 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17102.0
If we take 84 away from 89, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17102.1
Deduct 42 from 50 and we're left 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:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17102.11
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

The final result is 17102.11 with a remainder of 0.038.
