We're dividing 746892 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 746892 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 74, we get 32.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 326 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 326 7 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 294 from 326 to get 32.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 328 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 328 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 294 from 328.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 349 / 42

Step 5:
If we divide 349 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1778.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 336 from 349.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 132 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 132 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17783.0
Subtracting 126 from 132 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17783.1
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17783.14
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.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17783.142
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17783.1428
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.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 17783.14285
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.

Advancing to step 12:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17783.142857
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.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17783.1428571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17783.14285714
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.

The final result is 17783.14285714 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
