We divide 42871382 by 762
Let's see how many times 762 fits into 42871382.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 762, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 762

Step 2:
If we divide 42 by 762, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 762

Step 3:
428 divided by 762 is 0 with a remainder of 428.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 428 to get 428.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 428, then repeat: 4287 / 762

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 4287 by 762, we get 5 and a remainder of 477.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 3810 from 4287 to get 477.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 477 and continue: 4771 / 762

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 4771 by 762, we get 6 and a remainder of 199.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtract 4572 from 4771 to get 199.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 199 and repeat the process: 1993 / 762

On to step 6:
762 goes into 1993 2 times with a remainder of 469.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 562.0
Subtracting 1524 from 1993 leaves us with 469.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 469 and repeat the process: 4698 / 762

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 4698 by 762, we get 6 with a remainder of 126.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5626.0
The remainder is 126 after subtracting 4572 from 4698.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 126 and repeat the process: 1262 / 762

Let's proceed to step 8:
762 can be fit into 1262 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 500.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 56261.0
Subtracting 762 from 1262 leaves us with 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 5000 by 762, we get 6 with a remainder of 428.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56261.6
If we take 4572 away from 5000, we end up with 428.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 4280 by 762, we get 5 with a remainder of 470.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56261.65
The remainder is 470 after subtracting 3810 from 4280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4700, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
762 goes into 4700 6 times with a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56261.656
Subtracting 4572 from 4700 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 1280 by 762, we get 1 and a remainder of 518.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 56261.6561
The remainder is 518 after subtracting 762 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5180, and continue the process.

Step 13:
5180 divided by 762 is 6 with a remainder of 608.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56261.65616
The remainder is 608 after subtracting 4572 from 5180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
6080 divided by 762 is 7 with a remainder of 746.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56261.656167
If we take 5334 away from 6080, we end up with 746.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 7460 by 762, we get 9 with a remainder of 602.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56261.6561679
Deduct 6858 from 7460 and we're left with 602.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6020, and continue the process.

Step 16:
762 can be fit into 6020 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 686.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56261.65616797
Subtracting 5334 from 6020 leaves us with 686.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6860, and continue the process.

The final result is 56261.65616797 with a remainder of 6.86e-07.
