We're dividing 493356 by 42 
We want to divide 493356 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 49, we get 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 73 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 42 from 73 to get 31.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 313 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 313 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we take 294 away from 313, we end up with 19.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 195 / 42

On to step 5:
195 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1174.0
Subtracting 168 from 195 leaves us with 27.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 276 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 276 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11746.0
If we take 252 away from 276, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11746.5
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11746.57
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11746.571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11746.5714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11746.57142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11746.571428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11746.5714285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11746.57142857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11746.57142857, and the remainder is 6e-09.
