We begin with the division problem:

$$
\frac{4.2396}{0.1}
$$

Recognize that dividing by $$0.1$$ is equivalent to multiplying by $$10$$ since:

$$
\frac{1}{0.1} = 10
$$

Thus,

$$
\frac{4.2396}{0.1} = 4.2396 \times 10 = 42.396
$$

So, the exact answer written as a decimal is:

$$
42.396
$$
The exact answer is 42.396.
