492383 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 492383.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 42 from 49.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 42 from 72 and we're left with 30.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 303 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 303 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtracting 294 from 303 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
98 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1172.0
If we subtract 84 from 98, we get 14.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 143 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 143 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11723.0
If we subtract 126 from 143, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 170 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11723.4
If we take 168 away from 170, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11723.4
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11723.404
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11723.4047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11723.40476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11723.404761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11723.4047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11723.4047619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11723.4047619 with a remaining 2e-08.
