Let's divide 714681 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 714681.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 42

On to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 71 to get 29.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 294 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 goes into 294 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 294 from 294, we get 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 170.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 68 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1701.0
Subtracting 42 from 68 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 261 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 can be fit into 261 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17016.0
Subtracting 252 from 261 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17016.2
Subtract 84 from 90 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17016.21
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 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 9:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17016.214
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17016.2142
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
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: 17016.21428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17016.214285
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
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 13:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17016.2142857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17016.21428571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17016.21428571, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
