478604 ÷ 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 478604.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 47 to get 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
58 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 58, we get 16.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 166 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 166 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we take 126 away from 166, we end up with 40.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 400 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1139.0
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 224 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 224 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11395.0
If we subtract 210 from 224, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11395.3
Subtract 126 from 140 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11395.33
If we take 126 away from 140, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11395.33 and a remainder of 0.014.
