We divide 724645 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 724645.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 72 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 72 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 304 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 304 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 294 from 304, we get 10.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 106 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 106 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
If we subtract 84 from 106, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 224 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1725.0
Deduct 210 from 224 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 145 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 145 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17253.0
If we take 126 away from 145, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17253.4
Subtracting 168 from 190 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17253.45
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17253.452
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17253.4523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17253.45238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17253.45238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17253.4523809
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17253.45238095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17253.45238095 with a remaining 1e-08.
