752231 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 752231 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 7 0 times, leaving 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.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 75 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 75, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 332 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 332 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 294 from 332 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 382 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 382 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 179.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 378 from 382.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 43 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1791.0
If we take 42 away from 43, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 11 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17910.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17910.2
Deduct 84 from 110 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17910.26
If we subtract 252 from 260, we 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17910.261
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 10:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17910.2619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 11:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17910.2619
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17910.261904
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17910.2619047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17910.26190476
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17910.26190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
