Let's divide 754891 by 42
Our goal is to divide 754891 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
7 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 75 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 75, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 334 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 334 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 294 from 334 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
408 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 30.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 179.0
Deduct 378 from 408 and we're left with 30.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 309 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 309 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1797.0
Deduct 294 from 309 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 151 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 151 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17973.0
If we subtract 126 from 151, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17973.5
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 210 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17973.59
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
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: 17973.595
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17973.5952
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up 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 11:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17973.59523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17973.595238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17973.595238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17973.59523809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17973.59523809 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
