496750 divided by 42 
We want to divide 496750 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 42, we get 0 and 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

Going ahead 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
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 42 from 49.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 76 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 42 away from 76, we end up with 34.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 347 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 347 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we subtract 336 from 347, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 115 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 115 2 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1182.0
Subtract 84 from 115 to get 31.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 310 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 310 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11827.0
Subtracting 294 from 310 leaves us 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:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11827.3
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11827.38
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11827.38
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11827.3809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11827.38095
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.

Moving on to step 12:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11827.380952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11827.3809523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left 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:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11827.38095238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11827.38095238, and the remainder is 4e-09.
