794728 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 794728.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 79 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 79 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 79, we get 37.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 374 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 374 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 336 away from 374, we end up with 38.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 387 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 387 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 189.0
If we take 378 away from 387, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 92 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
92 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1892.0
If we take 84 away from 92, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 88 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18922.0
If we subtract 84 from 88, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18922.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18922.09
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18922.095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18922.0952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we 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.

Step 11:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18922.09523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18922.095238
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18922.095238
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18922.09523809
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.

The quotient of the division is 18922.09523809, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
