496263 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 496263 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 49 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
76 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 42 from 76.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 342 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
342 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we subtract 336 from 342, we get 6.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 66 / 42

On to step 5:
42 can be fit into 66 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1181.0
If we take 42 away from 66, we end up with 24.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 243 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 243 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 33.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11815.0
Subtract 210 from 243 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11815.7
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 294 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11815.78
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11815.785
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11815.7857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11815.78571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11815.785714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11815.7857142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11815.78571428
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 11815.78571428 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
