Let's divide 471308 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 471308.

Step 1:
42 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 47 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 51 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 42 from 51.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 93 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 93 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 84 from 93, we get 9.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 90 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1122.0
Subtracting 84 from 90 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
68 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11221.0
If we take 42 away from 68, 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11221.6
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11221.61
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11221.619
Subtract 378 from 380 to 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11221.619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11221.61904
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11221.619047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11221.6190476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11221.61904761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we 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.

Our division results in 11221.61904761 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
