744386 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 744386.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 74 and we're left with 32.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 324 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
324 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 30.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 294 from 324 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 303 / 42

On to step 4:
303 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtract 294 from 303 to get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 98 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1772.0
Subtract 84 from 98 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 146 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 146 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17723.0
Subtracting 126 from 146 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.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17723.4
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17723.47
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17723.476
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 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 10:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17723.4761
If we take 42 away from 80, 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.

On to step 11:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17723.47619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17723.47619
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17723.4761904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17723.47619047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17723.47619047, with a leftover of 2.6e-08.
