736969 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 736969 by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
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

On to step 2:
If we divide 73 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 73, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 316 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 316 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 294 from 316 leaves us with 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 229 5 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 175.0
If we take 210 away from 229, we end up with 19.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 196 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 196 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1754.0
If we take 168 away from 196, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 289 6 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17546.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 252 from 289.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 370 8 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17546.8
Subtracting 336 from 370 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17546.88
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 17546.88 with a remainder of 0.004.
