708939 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 708939 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 70 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 70 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 70, we get 28.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 42

Step 3:
If we divide 288 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 252 away from 288, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 369 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 369 8 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 168.0
Deduct 336 from 369 and we're left with 33.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 333 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 333 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1687.0
If we take 294 away from 333, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 399 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 399 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16879.0
If we take 378 away from 399, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 210 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16879.5
If we take 210 away from 210, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16879.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16879.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16879.5 with a balance of 0.0.
