488783 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 488783 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 48 1 times 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.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 68 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 42 from 68 leaves us with 26.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 267 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 267 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 116.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 252 from 267.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 158 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 158 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1163.0
Subtracting 126 from 158 leaves us with 32.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 323 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 323 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11637.0
If we subtract 294 from 323, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11637.6
Subtract 252 from 290 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11637.69
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11637.69
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 10:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11637.6904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11637.69047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11637.690476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11637.6904761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11637.69047619
Deduct 378 from 380 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.

The quotient of the division is 11637.69047619, and the remainder is 2e-09.
