We're dividing 420896 by 89 
We're looking to find how many times 89 goes into 420896.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 89, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 89

On to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 89, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 420 / 89

Step 3:
420 divided by 89 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 356 from 420, we get 64.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 648 / 89

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 648 by 89, we get 7 with a remainder of 25.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we subtract 623 from 648, we get 25.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 259 / 89

On to step 5:
89 goes into 259 2 times with a remainder of 81.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 472.0
If we subtract 178 from 259, we get 81.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 81 and repeat the process: 816 / 89

Let's proceed to step 6:
816 divided by 89 is 9 with a remainder of 15.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4729.0
Subtract 801 from 816 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
89 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4729.1
Subtracting 89 from 150 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
89 goes into 610 6 times with a remainder of 76.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4729.16
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 534 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 760 by 89, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4729.168
If we subtract 712 from 760, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 89 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4729.1685
Deduct 445 from 480 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 89, we get 3 and a remainder of 83.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4729.16853
The remainder is 83 after subtracting 267 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 830 by 89, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4729.168539
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 801 from 830.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 290 by 89, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4729.1685393
Subtracting 267 from 290 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
89 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4729.16853932
Deduct 178 from 230 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4729.16853932 with a remaining 5.2e-08.
