473586 ÷ 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 473586.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
47 divided by 42 is 1 with 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.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 53 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 53, we get 11.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 115 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 115 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 84 from 115, we get 31.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 318 / 42

On to step 5:
318 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1127.0
If we take 294 away from 318, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 246 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 246 5 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11275.0
If we subtract 210 from 246, 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 7:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11275.8
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11275.85
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11275.857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11275.8571
Subtract 42 from 60 to 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.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11275.85714
Subtract 168 from 180 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11275.857142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11275.8571428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
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:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11275.85714285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left 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 result is 11275.85714285 with a remainder of 3e-08.
