We divide 732579 by 42
We want to divide 732579 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
73 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 42 from 73.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 312 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 312 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 294 from 312, we get 18.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 185 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 185 4 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 168 from 185 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 177 4 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1744.0
If we take 168 away from 177, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17442.0
If we subtract 84 from 99, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 150 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17442.3
If we take 126 away from 150, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17442.35
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17442.357
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
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: 17442.3571
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.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 17442.35714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up 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 12:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17442.357142
Subtract 84 from 120 to 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.

Advancing to step 13:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17442.3571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17442.35714285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17442.35714285, with a leftover of 3e-08.
