492693 divided by 42 
We want to divide 492693 by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 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.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 49, we get 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 72 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 42 from 72 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 306 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 306 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 294 from 306.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 42

Step 5:
If we divide 129 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1173.0
If we take 126 away from 129, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 33 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 33 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11730.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 0 from 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
330 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11730.7
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 294 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11730.78
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
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 9:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11730.785
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11730.7857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11730.78571
Subtract 42 from 60 to 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11730.785714
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11730.7857142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 14:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11730.78571428
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.

The quotient of the division is 11730.78571428, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
