Let's divide 482843 by 42
We want to divide 482843 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 48 1 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 48 to get 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 62 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 42 away from 62, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 208 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 114.0
Deduct 168 from 208 and we're left with 40.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 404 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 404 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1149.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 378 from 404.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 263 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 263 6 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11496.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 252 from 263.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 110 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11496.2
If we take 84 away from 110, 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11496.26
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11496.261
Subtract 42 from 80 to 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.

On to step 10:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11496.2619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11496.2619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11496.261904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11496.2619047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11496.26190476
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.

The final outcome is 11496.26190476, with a leftover of 8e-09.
