Let's divide 42008278 by 471
Let's see how many times 471 fits into 42008278.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 471 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 471

Let's proceed to step 2:
471 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 420 / 471

On to step 3:
471 goes into 420 0 times with a remainder of 420.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 420 leaves us with 420.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 420, then carry on: 4200 / 471

Let's proceed to step 4:
4200 divided by 471 is 8 with a remainder of 432.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 3768 from 4200, we get 432.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 432, then carry on: 4328 / 471

On to step 5:
4328 divided by 471 is 9 with a remainder of 89.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 4239 from 4328.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 89 and repeat the process: 892 / 471

Advancing to step 6:
892 divided by 471 is 1 with a remainder of 421.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 891.0
If we take 471 away from 892, we end up with 421.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 421 and repeat the process: 4217 / 471

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 471 fits into 4217 8 times, leaving a remainder of 449.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8918.0
If we subtract 3768 from 4217, we get 449.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 449 and continue with: 4498 / 471

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 4498 by 471, we get 9 with a remainder of 259.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 89189.0
The remainder is 259 after subtracting 4239 from 4498.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 2590 by 471, we get 5 with a remainder of 235.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 89189.5
Subtract 2355 from 2590 to get 235.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 471 fits into 2350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 466.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 89189.54
Subtracting 1884 from 2350 leaves us with 466.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
4660 divided by 471 is 9 with a remainder of 421.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89189.549
If we subtract 4239 from 4660, we get 421.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
471 goes into 4210 8 times with a remainder of 442.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89189.5498
The remainder is 442 after subtracting 3768 from 4210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 4420 by 471, we get 9 with a remainder of 181.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 89189.54989
Deduct 4239 from 4420 and we're left with 181.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1810, and continue the process.

Step 14:
471 can be fit into 1810 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 397.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89189.549893
If we take 1413 away from 1810, we end up with 397.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3970, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 3970 by 471, we get 8 with a remainder of 202.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89189.5498938
If we subtract 3768 from 3970, we get 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 471 fits into 2020 4 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 89189.54989384
If we subtract 1884 from 2020, we get 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

The final result is 89189.54989384 with a remainder of 1.36e-07.
