Let's divide 492735 by 42
Our goal is to divide 492735 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 49 to get 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 42

Step 3:
72 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 42 from 72 leaves us with 30.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 307 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 307 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we subtract 294 from 307, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 133 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 133 3 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1173.0
Subtracting 126 from 133 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
75 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11731.0
Subtracting 42 from 75 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

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: 11731.7
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11731.78
If we subtract 336 from 360, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11731.785
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11731.7857
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:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11731.78571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11731.785714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11731.7857142
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.

Step 14:
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: 11731.78571428
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11731.78571428 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
