We're dividing 717032 by 42 
We want to divide 717032 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 71 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 71 leaves us with 29.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 297 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 297 7 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 294 from 297.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 30 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 170.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 303 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 303 7 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1707.0
If we take 294 away from 303, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 92 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
92 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17072.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 84 from 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17072.1
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17072.19
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17072.19
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17072.1904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we 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 11:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17072.19047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17072.190476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17072.1904761
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.

Advancing to step 14:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17072.19047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17072.19047619, with a leftover of 2e-09.
