499062 ÷ 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 499062.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 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
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 42 from 49.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 79 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 42 from 79 leaves us with 37.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 370 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 370 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
Subtracting 336 from 370 leaves us with 34.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 346 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 346 8 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1188.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 336 from 346.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 102 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 102 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11882.0
Subtract 84 from 102 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11882.4
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11882.42
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11882.428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11882.4285
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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11882.42857
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11882.428571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 13:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11882.4285714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11882.42857142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we 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.

The final outcome is 11882.42857142, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
