316704 ÷ 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 316704 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 42

On to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 316 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 316 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 294 from 316 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 227 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 227 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtract 210 from 227 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 170 / 42

On to step 5:
42 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 754.0
Subtract 168 from 170 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7540.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7540.5
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7540.57
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7540.571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7540.5714
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 11:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7540.57142
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7540.571428
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7540.5714285
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.

Step 14:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7540.57142857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 7540.57142857 with a balance of 6e-09.
