495811 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 495811.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 49 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 49, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 75 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 75 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 42 from 75.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 338 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 338 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we take 336 away from 338, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1180.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 211 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 211 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11805.0
Subtracting 210 from 211 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11805.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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 8:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11805.02
Subtract 84 from 100 to 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 9:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11805.023
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up 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 10:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11805.0238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11805.0238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 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 12:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11805.023809
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11805.0238095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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 14:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11805.02380952
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.

After the division, we end up with 11805.02380952 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
