696044 ÷ 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 696044.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 69 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 69, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 276 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 276 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 252 from 276 and we're left with 24.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 240 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 165.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 304 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 304 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1657.0
Subtracting 294 from 304 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 104 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 goes into 104 2 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16572.0
Deduct 84 from 104 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16572.4
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16572.47
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16572.476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16572.4761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16572.47619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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 12:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16572.47619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16572.4761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16572.47619047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 16572.47619047 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
