Let's divide 476663 by 42
We want to divide 476663 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 42 from 47.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 56 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 56 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 42 from 56.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 146 / 42

On to step 4:
146 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 20.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtracting 126 from 146 leaves us with 20.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 206 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 206 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1134.0
Subtract 168 from 206 to get 38.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 383 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 383 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11349.0
Subtracting 378 from 383 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11349.1
If we take 42 away from 50, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11349.11
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.

Our division results in 11349.11 with a remaining 0.038.
