Let's divide 711483 by 42
We want to divide 711483 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
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 71 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 71 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 291 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 291 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 252 from 291 to get 39.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 394 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 goes into 394 9 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 169.0
If we take 378 away from 394, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 168 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 168 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1694.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 168 from 168.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16940.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16940.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
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 8:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16940.07
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
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 9:
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: 16940.071
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.

Step 10:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16940.0714
If we subtract 168 from 180, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16940.07142
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16940.071428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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 13:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16940.0714285
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 14:
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: 16940.07142857
Subtract 294 from 300 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 16940.07142857, with a leftover of 6e-09.
