Let's divide 42811959 by 499
We want to divide 42811959 by 499.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 499, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 499

On to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 499, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 428 / 499

Let's proceed to step 3:
499 goes into 428 0 times with a remainder of 428.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 428 and we're left with 428.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 428 and continue: 4281 / 499

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 4281 by 499, we get 8 with a remainder of 289.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 289 after subtracting 3992 from 4281.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 289 and repeat the process: 2891 / 499

On to step 5:
2891 divided by 499 is 5 with a remainder of 396.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Deduct 2495 from 2891 and we're left with 396.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 396 and continue with: 3969 / 499

Let's proceed to step 6:
3969 divided by 499 is 7 with a remainder of 476.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 857.0
The remainder is 476 after subtracting 3493 from 3969.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 476 and repeat the process: 4765 / 499

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 499 fits into 4765 9 times, leaving a remainder of 274.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8579.0
Deduct 4491 from 4765 and we're left with 274.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 274, then repeat: 2749 / 499

Going ahead to step 8:
499 can be fit into 2749 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 254.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85795.0
Subtracting 2495 from 2749 leaves us with 254.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 499 fits into 2540 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85795.5
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 2495 from 2540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 450 by 499, we get 0 with a remainder of 450.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85795.5
If we take 0 away from 450, we end up with 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4500, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 499 fits into 4500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85795.509
If we take 4491 away from 4500, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
499 can be fit into 90 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 90.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85795.509
The remainder is 90 after subtracting 0 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 499 fits into 900 1 times, leaving a remainder of 401.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 85795.50901
Subtract 499 from 900 to get 401.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4010, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
499 goes into 4010 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 85795.509018
If we subtract 3992 from 4010, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 499 fits into 180 0 times, leaving a remainder of 180.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85795.509018
If we subtract 0 from 180, we get 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 1800 by 499, we get 3 and a remainder of 303.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 85795.50901803
Subtract 1497 from 1800 to get 303.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3030, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 85795.50901803 and a remainder of 3.03e-07.
