789282 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 789282.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 78, we end up with 36.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 369 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 369 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 33.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 336 away from 369, we end up with 33.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 332 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 332 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187.0
Subtracting 294 from 332 leaves us with 38.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 388 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 388 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1879.0
If we subtract 378 from 388, we get 10.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 102 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 102 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18792.0
If we take 84 away from 102, we end up 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.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18792.4
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18792.42
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18792.428
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.

Step 10:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18792.4285
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.

Step 11:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18792.42857
If we take 294 away from 300, 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18792.428571
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18792.4285714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
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 14:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18792.42857142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 18792.42857142 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
