Let's divide 483888 by 42
We want to divide 483888 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 48, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 42

Step 3:
63 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 63, we get 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 218 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 115.0
If we subtract 210 from 218, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 88 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1152.0
If we subtract 84 from 88, we get 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 42

On to step 6:
48 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11521.0
Deduct 42 from 48 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11521.1
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11521.14
If we subtract 168 from 180, we 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11521.142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11521.1428
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 11521.14285
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11521.142857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11521.1428571
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11521.14285714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11521.14285714 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
