Let's divide 426472 by 42
We want to divide 426472 by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 42, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 6 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 64 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
64 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 101.0
Deduct 42 from 64 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 227 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1015.0
Deduct 210 from 227 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 172 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 can be fit into 172 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10154.0
Deduct 168 from 172 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10154.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10154.09
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10154.095
Subtract 210 from 220 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.

Step 10:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10154.0952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 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 11:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10154.09523
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.

Advancing to step 12:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10154.095238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10154.095238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10154.09523809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10154.09523809, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
