Let's divide 478624 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 478624 can be divided by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 47 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 47 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 58 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 42 from 58 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 166 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 166 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtracting 126 from 166 leaves us with 40.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 402 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
402 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 24.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1139.0
Subtracting 378 from 402 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 244 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 244 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 34.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11395.0
If we take 210 away from 244, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11395.8
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11395.8
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11395.809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11395.8095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11395.80952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11395.809523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11395.8095238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11395.8095238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11395.8095238 and a remainder of 4e-08.
