We look at the division of 471378 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 471378.

Going ahead 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
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 42

On to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 47 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 51 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 42 from 51 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 93 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 93 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 84 from 93.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 42

On to step 5:
42 goes into 97 2 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1122.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 84 from 97.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 can be fit into 138 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11223.0
Subtract 126 from 138 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 7:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11223.2
If we subtract 84 from 120, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11223.28
Subtract 336 from 360 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11223.285
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.

On to step 10:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11223.2857
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.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11223.28571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11223.285714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11223.2857142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us with 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 14:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11223.28571428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 11223.28571428, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
