759172 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 759172 can be divided by 42.

Moving on 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.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 75 / 42

Step 2:
75 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 75 to get 33.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 339 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 339 8 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 336 from 339 to get 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 31 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 180.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 317 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 317 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1807.0
Subtract 294 from 317 to get 23.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 232 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 232 5 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18075.0
Subtract 210 from 232 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18075.5
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18075.52
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18075.523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18075.5238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18075.5238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18075.523809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18075.5238095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18075.52380952
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 18075.52380952 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
