Let's divide 712800 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 712800 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 42 from 71.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 292 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
292 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 252 from 292.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 408 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 408 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 30.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 378 from 408.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 300 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1697.0
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16971.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16971.4
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16971.42
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 9:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16971.428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16971.4285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 16971.42857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16971.428571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16971.4285714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
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 14:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16971.42857142
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 16971.42857142 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
