783234 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 783234.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 78 to get 36.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 363 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 363 8 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 336 away from 363, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 272 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 272 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 186.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 252 from 272.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 203 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 203 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1864.0
Subtract 168 from 203 to get 35.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 354 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 354 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18648.0
If we subtract 336 from 354, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18648.4
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18648.42
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18648.428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we 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 10:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18648.4285
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18648.42857
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18648.428571
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18648.4285714
If we take 168 away from 180, 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 14:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18648.42857142
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.

The final outcome is 18648.42857142, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
