We divide 704916 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 704916.

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
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 70 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 70 to get 28.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 284 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 284 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 252 from 284 to get 32.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 329 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 167.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 294 from 329.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 351 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 351 8 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1678.0
If we take 336 away from 351, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 156 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
156 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16783.0
Subtracting 126 from 156 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.

Step 7:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16783.7
Subtract 294 from 300 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16783.71
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.

Step 9:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16783.714
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 10:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16783.7142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
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 11:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16783.71428
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 12:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16783.714285
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16783.7142857
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.

Step 14:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16783.71428571
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 16783.71428571 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
