We look at the division of 499348 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 499348.

Going ahead 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
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 49, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 79 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 42 from 79 leaves us with 37.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 373 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 373 8 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
Deduct 336 from 373 and we're left with 37.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 374 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 374 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1188.0
Deduct 336 from 374 and we're left with 38.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 388 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 388 9 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11889.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 378 from 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11889.2
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11889.23
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11889.238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we 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.

Moving on to step 10:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11889.238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11889.23809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11889.238095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11889.2380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11889.23809523
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11889.23809523 with a balance of 3.4e-08.
