Let's divide 753237 by 42
We want to divide 753237 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
75 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 75 leaves us with 33.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 333 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 333 7 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 294 from 333 leaves us with 39.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 392 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 392 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we take 378 away from 392, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 143 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 143 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1793.0
Deduct 126 from 143 and we're left with 17.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 177 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 177 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17934.0
Subtracting 168 from 177 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17934.2
If we take 84 away from 90, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17934.21
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
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 9:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17934.214
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17934.2142
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17934.21428
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17934.214285
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17934.2142857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17934.21428571
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.

After the division, we end up with 17934.21428571 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
