We divide 487757 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 487757 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 48 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 67 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 42 from 67 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 257 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 257 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 116.0
Deduct 252 from 257 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1161.0
If we take 42 away from 55, we end up with 13.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 137 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 137 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11613.0
Deduct 126 from 137 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
110 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11613.2
If we subtract 84 from 110, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11613.26
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11613.261
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11613.2619
Subtracting 378 from 380 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 11:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11613.2619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11613.261904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11613.2619047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11613.26190476
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11613.26190476 with a remaining 8e-09.
