We're dividing 401492 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 401492.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 401 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 can be fit into 401 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 378 from 401.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 234 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 234 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 95.0
Deduct 210 from 234 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 42

On to step 5:
42 goes into 249 5 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 955.0
Subtracting 210 from 249 leaves us with 39.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 392 / 42

Step 6:
42 can be fit into 392 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9559.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 378 from 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9559.3
If we subtract 126 from 140, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
140 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9559.33
Subtract 126 from 140 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 9559.33 with a remainder of 0.014.
