749932 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 749932 by 42.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 42 from 74.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 42

On to step 3:
If we divide 329 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 294 from 329 to get 35.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 359 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 359 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we take 336 away from 359, we end up with 23.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 233 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 233 5 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1785.0
Subtract 210 from 233 to get 23.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 232 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 goes into 232 5 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17855.0
If we take 210 away from 232, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17855.5
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17855.52
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17855.523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17855.5238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17855.5238
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.

On to step 12:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17855.523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17855.5238095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17855.52380952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 17855.52380952, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
