Let's divide 739263 by 42
We want to divide 739263 by 42.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 73 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 73, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 319 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 319 7 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 294 from 319, we get 25.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 252 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 252 from 252.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 42

On to step 5:
6 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1760.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 63 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 63 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17601.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 42 from 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 210 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17601.5
If we take 210 away from 210, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
0 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17601.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
0 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17601.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17601.5 with a balance of 0.0.
