Let's divide 475771 by 42
We want to divide 475771 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 47 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 42 from 47.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 42 from 55 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 137 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we take 126 away from 137, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
117 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 33.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1132.0
If we subtract 84 from 117, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 331 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 331 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11327.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 294 from 331.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 370 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11327.8
Subtracting 336 from 370 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11327.88
Subtract 336 from 340 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 11327.88 and a remainder of 0.004.
