Let's divide 474531 by 42
Our goal is to divide 474531 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 47 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 47 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 42 from 54 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 125 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 125 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
Subtracting 84 from 125 leaves us with 41.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 413 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 413 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1129.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 378 from 413.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 351 / 42

Step 6:
351 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 15.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11298.0
Subtract 336 from 351 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
150 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11298.3
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 126 from 150.
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 8:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11298.35
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11298.357
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.

Step 10:
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: 11298.3571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 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 11:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11298.35714
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.

On to step 12:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11298.357142
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.

Advancing to step 13:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11298.3571428
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 14:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11298.35714285
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.

The final outcome is 11298.35714285, with a leftover of 3e-08.
