696329 ÷ 42 
Our goal is to divide 696329 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 42

Step 2:
69 divided by 42 is 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.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 276 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 276 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 252 from 276 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 243 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 243 5 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 165.0
If we subtract 210 from 243, we get 33.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 332 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 332 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1657.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 294 from 332.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 389 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 389 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16579.0
Deduct 378 from 389 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16579.2
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 84 from 110.
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 8:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16579.26
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 8.
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 9:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16579.261
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16579.2619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
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 11:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16579.2619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Step 12:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16579.261904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16579.2619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16579.26190476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 16579.26190476, with a leftover of 8e-09.
