We're dividing 792411 by 42 
We want to divide 792411 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and 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.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 79 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 79 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 42 from 79.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 372 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 372 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 336 from 372 and we're left with 36.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 364 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 364 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 188.0
If we subtract 336 from 364, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 281 6 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1886.0
Subtracting 252 from 281 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 291 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 291 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 39.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18866.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 252 from 291.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 390 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18866.9
If we take 378 away from 390, 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 8:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18866.92
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 9:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18866.928
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
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 10:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18866.9285
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:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18866.92857
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 12:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18866.928571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18866.9285714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18866.92857142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
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 outcome is 18866.92857142, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
