477685 divided by 42 
We want to divide 477685 by 42.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 47, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
57 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 42 from 57 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 156 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
156 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtract 126 from 156 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 308 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 308 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1137.0
If we take 294 away from 308, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 145 / 42

Step 6:
The number 42 fits into 145 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11373.0
Subtracting 126 from 145 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
190 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11373.4
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 168 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11373.45
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11373.452
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11373.4523
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.

Step 11:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11373.45238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11373.45238
If we subtract 0 from 40, 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.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11373.4523809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11373.45238095
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.

The quotient of the division is 11373.45238095, and the remainder is 1e-08.
