11821477 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 11821477 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 118 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 118, we get 34.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 342 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 342 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 336 from 342 to get 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
61 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 281.0
If we subtract 42 from 61, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 194 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 194 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2814.0
Subtracting 168 from 194 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 267 / 42

On to step 7:
42 goes into 267 6 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28146.0
If we subtract 252 from 267, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 42

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 157 3 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 281463.0
If we take 126 away from 157, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 310 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 281463.7
Deduct 294 from 310 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 281463.73
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 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 11:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 281463.738
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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 12:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 281463.738
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 281463.73809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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 14:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 281463.738095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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.

On to step 15:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 281463.7380952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 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 16:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 281463.73809523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 281463.73809523 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
