We divide 785437 by 42
We want to divide 785437 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 goes into 78 1 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 78, we end up with 36.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 365 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 365 8 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 336 away from 365, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 294 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 294 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 187.0
If we subtract 294 from 294, we get 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1870.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18700.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 370 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18700.8
If we subtract 336 from 370, we 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.

On to step 8:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18700.88
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18700.88, with a leftover of 0.004.
