If we take 4257 away from 4300, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 430 by 473, we get 0 with a remainder of 430.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 42373.909
Subtracting 0 from 430 leaves us with 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 473 fits into 4300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42373.90909
Subtracting 4257 from 4300 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 430 by 473, we get 0 with a remainder of 430.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 42373.90909
The remainder is 430 after subtracting 0 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
4300 divided by 473 is 9 with a remainder of 43.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42373.9090909
If we take 4257 away from 4300, we end up with 43.
