We divide 734248 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 734248.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 73 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 73, we get 31.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 goes into 314 7 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 294 from 314, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 202 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 202 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
If we take 168 away from 202, we end up with 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 344 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1748.0
If we subtract 336 from 344, we get 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 42

On to step 6:
If we divide 88 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17482.0
If we subtract 84 from 88, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17482.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17482.09
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17482.095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17482.0952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17482.09523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we get 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 12:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17482.095238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17482.095238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17482.09523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 17482.09523809 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
