We look at the division of 46618 by 42 
We want to divide 46618 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 46 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 46 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 46 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 42 from 46.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 41 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 41.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 110.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 418 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 418 9 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1109.0
If we subtract 378 from 418, we get 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 6:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1109.9
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1109.95
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1109.952
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.

Step 9:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1109.9523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1109.95238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1109.95238
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.

On to step 12:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1109.9523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1109.95238095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 1109.95238095 with a remainder of 1e-08.
