We divide 42898141 by 587
Our goal is to divide 42898141 by 587.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 587, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 587

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 587 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 428 / 587

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 428 by 587, we get 0 and a remainder of 428.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 428 after subtracting 0 from 428.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 428 and continue with: 4289 / 587

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 4289 by 587, we get 7 with a remainder of 180.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 180 after subtracting 4109 from 4289.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 180, then repeat: 1808 / 587

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 587 fits into 1808 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we take 1761 away from 1808, we end up with 47.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 471 / 587

Step 6:
471 divided by 587 is 0 with a remainder of 471.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 730.0
The remainder is 471 after subtracting 0 from 471.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 471 and continue: 4714 / 587

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 4714 by 587, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7308.0
If we take 4696 away from 4714, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 181 / 587

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 181 by 587, we get 0 and a remainder of 181.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73080.0
The remainder is 181 after subtracting 0 from 181.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 1810 by 587, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73080.3
If we subtract 1761 from 1810, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
490 divided by 587 is 0 with a remainder of 490.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73080.3
Subtract 0 from 490 to get 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4900, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 4900 by 587, we get 8 with a remainder of 204.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73080.308
Deduct 4696 from 4900 and we're left with 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
587 can be fit into 2040 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 279.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73080.3083
Subtract 1761 from 2040 to get 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 13:
2790 divided by 587 is 4 with a remainder of 442.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73080.30834
If we take 2348 away from 2790, we end up with 442.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4420, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 4420 by 587, we get 7 with a remainder of 311.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73080.308347
The remainder is 311 after subtracting 4109 from 4420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3110, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 587 fits into 3110 5 times, leaving a remainder of 175.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 73080.3083475
Subtracting 2935 from 3110 leaves us with 175.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
When dividing 1750 by 587, we get 2 with a remainder of 576.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73080.30834752
Subtracting 1174 from 1750 leaves us with 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 73080.30834752, and the remainder is 5.76e-07.
