We look at the division of 70984 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 70984.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 70 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 70 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 42

On to step 3:
289 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 37.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 252 from 289, we get 37.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 378 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
378 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 169.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 378 from 378.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1690.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 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 6:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1690.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1690.09
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
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 8:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1690.095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1690.0952
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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1690.09523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1690.095238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1690.095238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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 13:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1690.09523809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1690.09523809, with a leftover of 2.2e-08.
