We divide 754831 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 754831 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 75 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 75 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 75, we end up with 33.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 334 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 334 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 294 from 334 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 408 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 408 9 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 179.0
Deduct 378 from 408 and we're left with 30.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 303 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 303 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1797.0
Deduct 294 from 303 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 91 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 91 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17972.0
Deduct 84 from 91 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17972.1
If we subtract 42 from 70, we get 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.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17972.16
Deduct 252 from 280 and we're left 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 9:
280 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17972.166
Subtracting 252 from 280 leaves us 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 17972.166 with a remainder of 0.0028.
