Let's divide 463445 by 42
We want to divide 463445 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving 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.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 46 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 46 to get 4.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 43 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 42 away from 43, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 110.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 144 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 144 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1103.0
Deduct 126 from 144 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 185 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 185 4 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11034.0
If we take 168 away from 185, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 170 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11034.4
Subtracting 168 from 170 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11034.4
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11034.404
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11034.4047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11034.40476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11034.404761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11034.4047619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11034.4047619
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11034.4047619 with a remaining 2e-08.
