Let's divide 467645 by 42
We want to divide 467645 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 46 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 47 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 42 from 47 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 42

On to step 4:
56 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 111.0
Subtract 42 from 56 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 144 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1113.0
If we subtract 126 from 144, we get 18.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 185 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 185 4 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11134.0
Subtracting 168 from 185 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11134.4
Deduct 168 from 170 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11134.4
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11134.404
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11134.4047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11134.40476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11134.404761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11134.4047619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11134.4047619
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 11134.4047619 with a remainder of 2e-08.
