We're dividing 2476 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 2476.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 247 / 42

Step 3:
247 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 210 from 247.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 376 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 376 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 40.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Deduct 336 from 376 and we're left 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 5:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.9
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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58.95
If we subtract 210 from 220, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
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 8:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58.9523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.95238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we 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 10:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.95238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58.9523809
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.

Advancing to step 12:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58.95238095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 58.95238095, with a leftover of 1e-08.
