We divide 498554 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 498554 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 49 to get 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 42 from 78 to get 36.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 365 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 365 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 29.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we take 336 away from 365, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 295 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 295 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1187.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 294 from 295.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
14 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11870.0
Subtract 0 from 14 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11870.3
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 126 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11870.33
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 outcome is 11870.33, with a leftover of 0.014.
