Let's divide 46788597 by 642
We want to figure out the number of times 46788597 can be divided by 642.

Let's proceed to step 1:
642 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 642

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 642, we get 0 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 467 / 642

Step 3:
467 divided by 642 is 0 with a remainder of 467.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 467 and we're left with 467.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 467, then repeat: 4678 / 642

On to step 4:
642 goes into 4678 7 times with a remainder of 184.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 184 after subtracting 4494 from 4678.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 184, then repeat: 1848 / 642

Let's proceed to step 5:
642 goes into 1848 2 times with a remainder of 564.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 1284 away from 1848, we end up with 564.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 564 and continue with: 5645 / 642

Advancing to step 6:
5645 divided by 642 is 8 with a remainder of 509.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 728.0
If we subtract 5136 from 5645, we get 509.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 509, then repeat: 5099 / 642

Step 7:
642 goes into 5099 7 times with a remainder of 605.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7287.0
Subtract 4494 from 5099 to get 605.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 605, then repeat: 6057 / 642

Step 8:
642 can be fit into 6057 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 279.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72879.0
Subtracting 5778 from 6057 leaves us with 279.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2790, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
642 goes into 2790 4 times with a remainder of 222.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72879.4
Subtracting 2568 from 2790 leaves us with 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
2220 divided by 642 is 3 with a remainder of 294.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72879.43
If we subtract 1926 from 2220, we get 294.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
642 can be fit into 2940 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 372.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72879.434
The remainder is 372 after subtracting 2568 from 2940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
642 goes into 3720 5 times with a remainder of 510.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72879.4345
The remainder is 510 after subtracting 3210 from 3720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5100, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
5100 divided by 642 is 7 with a remainder of 606.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72879.43457
If we take 4494 away from 5100, we end up with 606.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6060, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
6060 divided by 642 is 9 with a remainder of 282.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72879.434579
Subtract 5778 from 6060 to get 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

Step 15:
642 goes into 2820 4 times with a remainder of 252.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72879.4345794
Deduct 2568 from 2820 and we're left with 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
2520 divided by 642 is 3 with a remainder of 594.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72879.43457943
If we subtract 1926 from 2520, we get 594.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5940, and continue the process.

The final result is 72879.43457943 with a remainder of 5.94e-07.
