Let's divide 491626 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 491626.

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
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 49 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 71 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 42 away from 71, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 296 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
296 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we take 294 away from 296, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 22 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1170.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 226 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11705.0
If we take 210 away from 226, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11705.3
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11705.38
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11705.38
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11705.3809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11705.38095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11705.380952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11705.3809523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11705.38095238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11705.38095238 with a balance of 4e-09.
