We divide 462903 by 42
Our goal is to divide 462903 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 42 from 46.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 42 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 42 from 42 to get 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 9 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 110.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 90 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
90 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1102.0
Deduct 84 from 90 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 63 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 63 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11021.0
Deduct 42 from 63 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 42 fits into 210 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11021.5
If we take 210 away from 210, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11021.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 42 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11021.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11021.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
