Let's divide 466963 by 42
We want to divide 466963 by 42.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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

On to step 2:
42 goes into 46 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 46 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 46 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 42 from 46 to get 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 111.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 42 from 49.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 76 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 76 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1111.0
Subtract 42 from 76 to get 34.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 343 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 343 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11118.0
If we take 336 away from 343, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11118.1
Deduct 42 from 70 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
280 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11118.16
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11118.166
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11118.166 with a remaining 0.0028.
