We look at the division of 471899 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 471899.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in 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.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
47 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 47, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 51 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 51, we get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 98 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
Subtracting 84 from 98 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 42

On to step 5:
42 can be fit into 149 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1123.0
Subtract 126 from 149 to get 23.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 239 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 can be fit into 239 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11235.0
Subtracting 210 from 239 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 290 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11235.6
Subtract 252 from 290 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 8:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11235.69
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11235.69
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11235.6904
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11235.69047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
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 12:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11235.690476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11235.6904761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11235.69047619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 11235.69047619 with a remainder of 2e-09.
