728232 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 728232.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 72, we end up with 30.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 308 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 308 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 294 from 308, we get 14.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 142 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 142 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 173.0
Deduct 126 from 142 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 163 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 163 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1733.0
If we subtract 126 from 163, we get 37.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 372 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 372 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17338.0
If we take 336 away from 372, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17338.8
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
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 8:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17338.85
Subtract 210 from 240 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 9:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17338.857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17338.8571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17338.85714
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17338.857142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 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 13:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17338.8571428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
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 14:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17338.85714285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 17338.85714285 and a remainder of 3e-08.
