Let's divide 687693 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 687693 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 68, we get 26.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 267 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 267 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 252 from 267 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 156 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 156 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 163.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 126 from 156.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 309 / 42

Step 5:
If we divide 309 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1637.0
Subtract 294 from 309 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 153 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 153 3 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16373.0
Deduct 126 from 153 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 270 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16373.6
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 252 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16373.64
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16373.642
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16373.6428
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16373.64285
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16373.642857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16373.6428571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16373.64285714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16373.64285714, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
