We divide 42988099 by 548
We want to divide 42988099 by 548.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 548 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 548

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 548, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 429 / 548

On to step 3:
The number 548 fits into 429 0 times, leaving a remainder of 429.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 429 to get 429.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 429 and continue: 4298 / 548

Step 4:
If we divide 4298 by 548, we get 7 and a remainder of 462.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 3836 from 4298 to get 462.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 462, then carry on: 4628 / 548

On to step 5:
If we divide 4628 by 548, we get 8 and a remainder of 244.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 78.0
If we take 4384 away from 4628, we end up with 244.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 244, then repeat: 2440 / 548

Going ahead to step 6:
548 goes into 2440 4 times with a remainder of 248.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 784.0
The remainder is 248 after subtracting 2192 from 2440.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 248 and repeat the process: 2489 / 548

Let's proceed to step 7:
548 can be fit into 2489 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 297.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7844.0
Deduct 2192 from 2489 and we're left with 297.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 297, then repeat: 2979 / 548

Step 8:
548 goes into 2979 5 times with a remainder of 239.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 78445.0
The remainder is 239 after subtracting 2740 from 2979.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2390, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 2390 by 548, we get 4 and a remainder of 198.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 78445.4
Subtract 2192 from 2390 to get 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
548 can be fit into 1980 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 336.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 78445.43
The remainder is 336 after subtracting 1644 from 1980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
548 goes into 3360 6 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78445.436
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 3288 from 3360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 720 by 548, we get 1 with a remainder of 172.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 78445.4361
Subtract 548 from 720 to get 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 548 fits into 1720 3 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 78445.43613
Deduct 1644 from 1720 and we're left with 76.
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 14:
548 goes into 760 1 times with a remainder of 212.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78445.436131
The remainder is 212 after subtracting 548 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
548 can be fit into 2120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 476.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 78445.4361313
Subtract 1644 from 2120 to get 476.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
4760 divided by 548 is 8 with a remainder of 376.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78445.43613138
If we subtract 4384 from 4760, we get 376.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3760, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 78445.43613138 with a balance of 3.76e-07.
