We look at the division of 746226 by 42 
We want to divide 746226 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 42

Step 2:
74 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 74, we get 32.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 326 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 326 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 294 from 326 and we're left with 32.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 322 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 322 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 294 from 322.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 282 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
282 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1776.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 252 from 282.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 306 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 306 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17767.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 294 from 306.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17767.2
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17767.28
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17767.285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17767.2857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up 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 11:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17767.28571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17767.285714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17767.2857142
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.

Step 14:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17767.28571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17767.28571428 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
