We divide 493414 by 42
We want to divide 493414 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 49 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 73 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 42 away from 73, we end up with 31.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 314 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 314 7 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we take 294 away from 314, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 201 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 201 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 33.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1174.0
Subtract 168 from 201 to get 33.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 334 / 42

Step 6:
The number 42 fits into 334 7 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11747.0
If we take 294 away from 334, 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11747.9
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.

Step 8:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11747.95
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

Step 9:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11747.952
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.

On to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11747.9523
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.

Step 11:
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: 11747.95238
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 12:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11747.95238
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11747.9523809
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.

Moving on to step 14:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11747.95238095
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.

The final result is 11747.95238095 with a remainder of 1e-08.
