471572 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 471572.

Step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 47 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 51 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 42 from 51 to get 9.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 95 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 95 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we take 84 away from 95, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 117 2 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1122.0
If we subtract 84 from 117, we get 33.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 332 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 332 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11227.0
Subtract 294 from 332 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.

Advancing to step 7:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11227.9
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.

On to step 8:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11227.9
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11227.904
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 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 10:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11227.9047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11227.90476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11227.904761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we 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.

On to step 13:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11227.9047619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 14:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11227.9047619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 11227.9047619 and a remainder of 2e-08.
