We're dividing 742484 by 1 
We want to figure out the number of times 742484 can be divided by 1.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 1 fits into 7 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 7 from 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 1

Going ahead to step 2:
1 can be fit into 4 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 1

Moving on to step 3:
1 can be fit into 2 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 742.0
If we take 2 away from 2, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

Moving on to step 4:
1 can be fit into 4 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7424.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 1

Advancing to step 5:
1 can be fit into 8 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74248.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 1

Let's proceed to step 6:
4 divided by 1 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 742484.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 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 7:
1 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 742484.0
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 742484.0
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.

After the division, we end up with 742484.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
