Let's divide 672992 by 42
Our goal is to divide 672992 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 67 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 67, we get 25.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 252 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 252 from 252 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 99 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1602.0
Deduct 84 from 99 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 152 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 152 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16023.0
Subtract 126 from 152 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16023.6
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16023.61
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16023.619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16023.619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16023.61904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16023.619047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16023.6190476
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16023.61904761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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 16023.61904761 with a remainder of 3.8e-08.
