We divide 49235 by 42
We want to divide 49235 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
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

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
Subtract 42 from 49 to get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 42 from 72 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 303 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 goes into 303 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtracting 294 from 303 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 95 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1172.0
Subtracting 84 from 95 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 6:
The number 42 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1172.2
If we subtract 84 from 110, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1172.26
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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 8:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1172.261
Subtract 42 from 80 to 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.

Step 9:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1172.2619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1172.2619
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.

Step 11:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1172.261904
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 12:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1172.2619047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1172.26190476
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1172.26190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
