We're dividing 471118 by 42 
We want to divide 471118 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 47, we get 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 51 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 42 from 51 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 91 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
Deduct 84 from 91 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 71 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1121.0
Deduct 42 from 71 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 298 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 goes into 298 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11217.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 294 from 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11217.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11217.09
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11217.095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11217.0952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11217.09523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11217.095238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11217.095238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11217.09523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11217.09523809 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
