Let's divide 724276 by 42
Our goal is to divide 724276 by 42.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 72, we end up with 30.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 304 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 304 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 294 away from 304, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 102 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 can be fit into 102 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 172.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 84 from 102.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
187 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 19.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1724.0
If we take 168 away from 187, we end up with 19.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 196 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17244.0
If we take 168 away from 196, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17244.6
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17244.66
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 17244.66 with a remainder of 0.028.
