Let's divide 431476 by 42
We want to divide 431476 by 42.

Step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 43 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 43 to get 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 42

On to step 3:
11 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 114 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 114 2 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 102.0
If we take 84 away from 114, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 307 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1027.0
Deduct 294 from 307 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 136 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 136 3 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10273.0
Subtract 126 from 136 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10273.2
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10273.23
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10273.238
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10273.238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10273.23809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10273.238095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10273.2380952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10273.23809523
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.

Our division results in 10273.23809523 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
