We look at the division of 497719 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 497719.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 49 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 77 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 42 from 77.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 357 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 357 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 21.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 336 from 357.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 211 / 42

On to step 5:
211 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1185.0
If we take 210 away from 211, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
19 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11850.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11850.4
Subtract 168 from 190 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11850.45
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11850.452
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11850.4523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11850.45238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11850.45238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11850.4523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11850.45238095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11850.45238095 with a remaining 1e-08.
