We're dividing 474289 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 474289.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 47, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 54, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 122 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we take 84 away from 122, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 388 9 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1129.0
Deduct 378 from 388 and we're left with 10.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 109 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 109 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11292.0
Subtracting 84 from 109 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
250 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11292.5
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 210 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11292.59
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11292.595
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11292.5952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11292.59523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11292.595238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11292.595238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11292.59523809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11292.59523809 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
