We're dividing 462347 by 42 
We want to divide 462347 by 42.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 46 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 42 from 46.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 42 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 42, we get 0.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 3 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 3 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 110.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 34 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1100.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 347 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 347 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11008.0
Subtract 336 from 347 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11008.2
Subtracting 84 from 110 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11008.26
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:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11008.261
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11008.2619
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11008.2619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11008.261904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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.

Step 13:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11008.2619047
If we subtract 294 from 320, 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11008.26190476
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.

The final outcome is 11008.26190476, with a leftover of 8e-09.
