42472 ÷ 9 
We want to divide 42472 by 9.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 9, we get 0 and 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.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
9 goes into 42 4 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 36 from 42 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 9

Going ahead to step 3:
9 goes into 64 7 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtracting 63 from 64 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
9 goes into 17 1 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 471.0
If we subtract 9 from 17, we get 8.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 82 / 9

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 82 by 9, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4719.0
Subtracting 81 from 82 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
9 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4719.1
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 10 by 9, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4719.11
If we take 9 away from 10, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 4719.11 with a remainder of 0.001.
