We divide 475687 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 475687 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 47, we get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 55, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 136 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 136 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtract 126 from 136 to get 10.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 108 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1132.0
Deduct 84 from 108 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 247 5 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11325.0
If we take 210 away from 247, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 370 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11325.8
If we take 336 away from 370, we end up 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 8:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11325.88
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11325.88 with a balance of 0.004.
