We divide 483040 by 42
We want to divide 483040 by 42.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 48 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
63 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 42 away from 63, we end up with 21.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 210 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 210 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 115.0
If we subtract 210 from 210, we get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1150.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11500.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11500.9
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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 8:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11500.95
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11500.952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead 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: 11500.9523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
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:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11500.95238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11500.95238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11500.9523809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11500.95238095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

The final result is 11500.95238095 with a remainder of 1e-08.
