We divide 483979 by 42
Our goal is to divide 483979 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
48 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 48 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 63 1 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 42 from 63.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 219 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 219 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 9.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 115.0
Subtract 210 from 219 to get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 42

Step 5:
97 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1152.0
Subtract 84 from 97 to get 13.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 139 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 139 3 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11523.0
If we take 126 away from 139, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 130 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11523.3
Subtract 126 from 130 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11523.3
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11523.309
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11523.3095
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11523.30952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11523.309523
Subtract 126 from 160 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11523.3095238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11523.3095238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11523.3095238 with a remaining 4e-08.
