705248 ÷ 42 
Our goal is to divide 705248 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 42

Step 2:
70 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 70 to get 28.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 285 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 285 6 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 252 away from 285, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 332 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
332 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 167.0
Subtracting 294 from 332 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 384 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
384 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1679.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 378 from 384.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 42

On to step 6:
If we divide 68 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16791.0
Deduct 42 from 68 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16791.6
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16791.61
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us 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 9:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16791.619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16791.619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16791.61904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16791.619047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16791.6190476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
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 14:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16791.61904761
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.

After the division, we end up with 16791.61904761 and a remainder of 3.8e-08.
