Let's divide 734549 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 734549.

On to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 73 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 73 to get 31.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 314 / 42

On to step 3:
314 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 294 from 314.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 205 / 42

Step 4:
205 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 37.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174.0
If we take 168 away from 205, we end up with 37.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 374 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 374 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1748.0
Subtract 336 from 374 to get 38.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 389 / 42

On to step 6:
If we divide 389 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17489.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 378 from 389.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17489.2
If we take 84 away from 110, we end up 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 8:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17489.26
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17489.261
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
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 10:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17489.2619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17489.2619
Subtracting 0 from 20 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17489.261904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17489.2619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17489.26190476
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.

The final outcome is 17489.26190476, with a leftover of 8e-09.
