499649 divided by 42 
We want to divide 499649 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 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
Subtracting 42 from 49 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 42

Step 3:
79 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 42 from 79.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 376 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 376 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
Deduct 336 from 376 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 404 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
404 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1189.0
Subtracting 378 from 404 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 269 6 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11896.0
Deduct 252 from 269 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
170 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11896.4
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.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11896.4
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11896.404
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11896.4047
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:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11896.40476
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11896.404761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 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:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11896.4047619
Subtract 378 from 380 to 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.

Step 14:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11896.4047619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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 11896.4047619 with a remaining 2e-08.
