749741 ÷ 42 
Our goal is to divide 749741 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 74 leaves us with 32.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 329 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 329 7 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 294 from 329.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 357 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 357 8 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
Subtract 336 from 357 to get 21.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 214 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 214 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1785.0
Subtracting 210 from 214 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 goes into 41 0 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17850.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 410 9 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17850.9
Subtract 378 from 410 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17850.97
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17850.976
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 10:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17850.9761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17850.97619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17850.97619
Deduct 0 from 20 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17850.9761904
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 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 14:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17850.97619047
Subtract 294 from 320 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 17850.97619047 and a remainder of 2.6e-08.
