We divide 684831 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 684831.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 68 to get 26.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 264 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 252 from 264.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 128 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 163.0
Subtracting 126 from 128 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 23 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1630.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 231 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 21.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16305.0
Subtract 210 from 231 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
210 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16305.5
Deduct 210 from 210 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16305.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
0 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16305.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 16305.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
