On to step 1:
4 divided by 501 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 501

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 501, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 424 / 501

Advancing to step 3:
424 divided by 501 is 0 with a remainder of 424.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 424 to get 424.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 424, then carry on: 4242 / 501

Advancing to step 4:
The number 501 fits into 4242 8 times, leaving a remainder of 234.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 234 after subtracting 4008 from 4242.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 234 and continue with: 2343 / 501

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 2343 by 501, we get 4 and a remainder of 339.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84.0
Subtract 2004 from 2343 to get 339.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 339, then carry on: 3393 / 501

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 3393 by 501, we get 6 with a remainder of 387.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 846.0
Subtracting 3006 from 3393 leaves us with 387.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 387, then carry on: 3876 / 501

Advancing to step 7:
501 can be fit into 3876 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 369.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8467.0
Subtracting 3507 from 3876 leaves us with 369.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 369, then carry on: 3692 / 501

Going ahead to step 8:
3692 divided by 501 is 7 with a remainder of 185.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84677.0
The remainder is 185 after subtracting 3507 from 3692.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
501 goes into 1850 3 times with a remainder of 347.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 84677.3
Subtracting 1503 from 1850 leaves us with 347.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 501 fits into 3470 6 times, leaving a remainder of 464.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 84677.36
If we subtract 3006 from 3470, we get 464.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
501 can be fit into 4640 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 131.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 84677.369
Subtract 4509 from 4640 to get 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1310, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1310 divided by 501 is 2 with a remainder of 308.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 84677.3692
The remainder is 308 after subtracting 1002 from 1310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

Step 13:
3080 divided by 501 is 6 with a remainder of 74.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84677.36926
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 3006 from 3080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
740 divided by 501 is 1 with a remainder of 239.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84677.369261
If we take 501 away from 740, we end up with 239.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
501 can be fit into 2390 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 386.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84677.3692614
Subtract 2004 from 2390 to get 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 3860 by 501, we get 7 and a remainder of 353.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 84677.36926147
Subtract 3507 from 3860 to get 353.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3530, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 84677.36926147 and a remainder of 3.53e-07.
