42974961 divided by 748 
Let's see how many times 748 fits into 42974961.

Moving on to step 1:
748 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 748

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 divided by 748 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 429 / 748

Moving on to step 3:
The number 748 fits into 429 0 times, leaving a remainder of 429.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 429, we end up with 429.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 429 and repeat the process: 4297 / 748

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 4297 by 748, we get 5 and a remainder of 557.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 557 after subtracting 3740 from 4297.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 557, then repeat: 5574 / 748

Going ahead to step 5:
5574 divided by 748 is 7 with a remainder of 338.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 5236 from 5574, we get 338.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 338 and continue: 3389 / 748

Advancing to step 6:
3389 divided by 748 is 4 with a remainder of 397.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 574.0
If we take 2992 away from 3389, we end up with 397.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 397 and continue: 3976 / 748

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 3976 by 748, we get 5 with a remainder of 236.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5745.0
If we subtract 3740 from 3976, we get 236.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 236, then repeat: 2361 / 748

Step 8:
If we divide 2361 by 748, we get 3 and a remainder of 117.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57453.0
Deduct 2244 from 2361 and we're left with 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
748 goes into 1170 1 times with a remainder of 422.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57453.1
The remainder is 422 after subtracting 748 from 1170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
748 goes into 4220 5 times with a remainder of 480.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57453.15
If we subtract 3740 from 4220, we get 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
748 goes into 4800 6 times with a remainder of 312.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57453.156
Deduct 4488 from 4800 and we're left with 312.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
3120 divided by 748 is 4 with a remainder of 128.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57453.1564
Subtracting 2992 from 3120 leaves us with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 1280 by 748, we get 1 with a remainder of 532.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57453.15641
Deduct 748 from 1280 and we're left with 532.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
748 can be fit into 5320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57453.156417
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 5236 from 5320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 840 by 748, we get 1 and a remainder of 92.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57453.1564171
If we take 748 away from 840, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 920 by 748, we get 1 and a remainder of 172.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57453.15641711
If we subtract 748 from 920, we get 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 57453.15641711 and a remainder of 1.72e-07.
