We divide 480422 by 42
We want to divide 480422 by 42.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 48 to get 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 184 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 184 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 114.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 168 from 184.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 162 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
162 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1143.0
Deduct 126 from 162 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 362 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 362 8 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11438.0
If we take 336 away from 362, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11438.6
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
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: 11438.61
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11438.619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11438.619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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 11:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11438.61904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11438.619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11438.6190476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11438.61904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11438.61904761 and a remainder of 3.8e-08.
