693954 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 693954 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 69 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 69 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 273 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 goes into 273 6 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 252 from 273 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 219 5 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 165.0
If we subtract 210 from 219, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 95 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 95 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1652.0
Deduct 84 from 95 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 114 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 can be fit into 114 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16522.0
Subtract 84 from 114 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16522.7
Subtract 294 from 300 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16522.71
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16522.714
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.

Advancing 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: 16522.7142
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16522.71428
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16522.714285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16522.7142857
Subtract 294 from 300 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.

Step 14:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16522.71428571
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.

The final result is 16522.71428571 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
