We look at the division of 108473 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 108473 can be divided by 42.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 108 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 108 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 244 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 244 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we subtract 210 from 244, we get 34.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 347 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 347 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 258.0
If we take 336 away from 347, we end up with 11.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 113 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 113 2 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2582.0
Subtracting 84 from 113 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2582.6
Deduct 252 from 290 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2582.69
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us 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.

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: 2582.69
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2582.6904
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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2582.69047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2582.690476
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2582.6904761
Subtract 42 from 80 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 14:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2582.69047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 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 2582.69047619, and the remainder is 2e-09.
