479628 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 479628 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 47 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 59 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 42 from 59 to get 17.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 176 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 can be fit into 176 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 114.0
If we take 168 away from 176, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 82 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 82 1 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1141.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 42 from 82.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 408 9 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11419.0
Subtract 378 from 408 to get 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 7:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11419.7
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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 8:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11419.71
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11419.714
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.

On to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11419.7142
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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11419.71428
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11419.714285
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11419.7142857
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.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11419.71428571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 11419.71428571, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
