Let's divide 451722 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 451722 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 42

Step 2:
42 can be fit into 45 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 45, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 42

On to step 3:
42 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 317 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 317 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 107.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 294 from 317.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 232 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 232 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1075.0
Deduct 210 from 232 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 222 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 222 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10755.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 210 from 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10755.2
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10755.28
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10755.285
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10755.2857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10755.28571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10755.285714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10755.2857142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10755.28571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 10755.28571428 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
