We divide 42120809 by 888
We're looking to find how many times 888 goes into 42120809.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 888, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 888

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 888 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 421 / 888

Going ahead to step 3:
888 goes into 421 0 times with a remainder of 421.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 421 leaves us with 421.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 421, then carry on: 4212 / 888

Advancing to step 4:
The number 888 fits into 4212 4 times, leaving a remainder of 660.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 3552 from 4212, we get 660.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 660 and continue with: 6600 / 888

Advancing to step 5:
888 can be fit into 6600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 384.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 384 after subtracting 6216 from 6600.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 384, then repeat: 3848 / 888

On to step 6:
888 goes into 3848 4 times with a remainder of 296.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 474.0
If we take 3552 away from 3848, we end up with 296.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 296 and continue: 2960 / 888

Moving on to step 7:
2960 divided by 888 is 3 with a remainder of 296.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4743.0
Subtracting 2664 from 2960 leaves us with 296.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 296, then repeat: 2969 / 888

On to step 8:
888 can be fit into 2969 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 305.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47433.0
Subtract 2664 from 2969 to get 305.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3050, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 3050 by 888, we get 3 and a remainder of 386.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47433.3
Subtracting 2664 from 3050 leaves us with 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 3860 by 888, we get 4 with a remainder of 308.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47433.34
The remainder is 308 after subtracting 3552 from 3860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 888 fits into 3080 3 times, leaving a remainder of 416.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47433.343
Deduct 2664 from 3080 and we're left with 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 4160 by 888, we get 4 and a remainder of 608.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47433.3434
Subtract 3552 from 4160 to get 608.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
888 can be fit into 6080 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 752.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47433.34346
If we subtract 5328 from 6080, we get 752.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
888 can be fit into 7520 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 416.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47433.343468
If we take 7104 away from 7520, we end up with 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 888 fits into 4160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 608.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47433.3434684
The remainder is 608 after subtracting 3552 from 4160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6080, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
888 goes into 6080 6 times with a remainder of 752.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47433.34346846
If we subtract 5328 from 6080, we get 752.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7520, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 47433.34346846 with a balance of 7.52e-07.
