Let's divide 789720 by 42
Our goal is to divide 789720 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 42 from 78.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 369 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 369 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 33.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 336 away from 369, we end up with 33.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 337 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
337 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
If we subtract 336 from 337, we get 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 12 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1880.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 120 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18802.0
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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18802.8
If we take 336 away from 360, 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.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18802.85
Subtract 210 from 240 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18802.857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18802.8571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us 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:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18802.85714
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.

On to step 12:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18802.857142
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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18802.8571428
Subtract 336 from 360 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.

Advancing to step 14:
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: 18802.85714285
Subtract 210 from 240 to 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.

Our division results in 18802.85714285 with a remaining 3e-08.
