We're dividing 726428 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 726428.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
72 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 72 leaves us with 30.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 306 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 306 7 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 294 from 306.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 124 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 124 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 172.0
If we subtract 84 from 124, we get 40.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 402 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 402 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1729.0
If we take 378 away from 402, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 248 5 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17295.0
If we take 210 away from 248, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17295.9
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17295.9
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17295.904
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17295.9047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17295.90476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17295.904761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 13:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17295.9047619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17295.9047619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 17295.9047619, and the remainder is 2e-08.
