We look at the division of 495482 by 42 
We want to divide 495482 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 49 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 75 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 75, we get 33.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 334 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 334 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we subtract 294 from 334, we get 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 408 9 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1179.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 378 from 408.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 302 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
302 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11797.0
Deduct 294 from 302 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11797.1
If we subtract 42 from 80, we 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 8:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11797.19
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11797.19
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11797.1904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11797.19047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11797.190476
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.

Advancing to step 13:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11797.1904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
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 14:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11797.19047619
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11797.19047619 with a balance of 2e-09.
