Let's divide 42879053 by 725
Let's see how many times 725 fits into 42879053.

Moving on to step 1:
725 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
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 / 725

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 725, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 428 / 725

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 428 by 725, we get 0 with a remainder of 428.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 428 and we're left with 428.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 428 and continue with: 4287 / 725

On to step 4:
When dividing 4287 by 725, we get 5 with a remainder of 662.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 3625 from 4287 leaves us with 662.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 662, then carry on: 6629 / 725

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 6629 by 725, we get 9 with a remainder of 104.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
Deduct 6525 from 6629 and we're left with 104.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 104 and continue with: 1040 / 725

Step 6:
725 goes into 1040 1 times with a remainder of 315.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 591.0
If we subtract 725 from 1040, we get 315.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 315, then repeat: 3155 / 725

Moving on to step 7:
725 can be fit into 3155 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 255.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5914.0
Subtract 2900 from 3155 to get 255.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 255, then repeat: 2553 / 725

Going ahead to step 8:
725 can be fit into 2553 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 378.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59143.0
Subtracting 2175 from 2553 leaves us with 378.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
725 can be fit into 3780 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 155.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59143.5
Subtract 3625 from 3780 to get 155.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 1550 by 725, we get 2 with a remainder of 100.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59143.52
Subtract 1450 from 1550 to get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
725 can be fit into 1000 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 275.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59143.521
If we subtract 725 from 1000, we get 275.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 2750 by 725, we get 3 with a remainder of 575.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59143.5213
The remainder is 575 after subtracting 2175 from 2750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
725 can be fit into 5750 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 675.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59143.52137
Subtract 5075 from 5750 to get 675.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
6750 divided by 725 is 9 with a remainder of 225.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59143.521379
If we subtract 6525 from 6750, we get 225.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2250, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 2250 by 725, we get 3 with a remainder of 75.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59143.5213793
If we subtract 2175 from 2250, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
725 can be fit into 750 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59143.52137931
If we subtract 725 from 750, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 59143.52137931 with a balance of 2.5e-08.
