We divide 42750384 by 87
Our goal is to divide 42750384 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
87 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 427 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 427 4 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 348 from 427 and we're left with 79.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 79 and continue: 795 / 87

On to step 4:
If we divide 795 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 783 from 795 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 120 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 491.0
If we take 87 away from 120, we end up with 33.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 333 / 87

Step 6:
If we divide 333 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4913.0
If we take 261 away from 333, we end up with 72.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 728 / 87

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 728 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49138.0
Subtracting 696 from 728 leaves us with 32.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 324 / 87

Step 8:
The number 87 fits into 324 3 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 491383.0
Subtracting 261 from 324 leaves us with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 630 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 491383.7
If we subtract 609 from 630, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 10:
210 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 491383.72
Subtract 174 from 210 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 491383.724
Subtract 348 from 360 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
120 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 491383.7241
Deduct 87 from 120 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
330 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 491383.72413
If we subtract 261 from 330, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 690 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 81.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 491383.724137
Subtracting 609 from 690 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 810 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 491383.7241379
If we subtract 783 from 810, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
270 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 491383.72413793
Subtract 261 from 270 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 491383.72413793 and a remainder of 9e-09.
