Let's divide 42578447 by 731
Let's see how many times 731 fits into 42578447.

On to step 1:
731 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 731

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 731, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 425 / 731

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 425 by 731, we get 0 and a remainder of 425.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 425 after subtracting 0 from 425.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 425 and continue with: 4257 / 731

Moving on to step 4:
731 goes into 4257 5 times with a remainder of 602.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 3655 from 4257 to get 602.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 602, then repeat: 6028 / 731

On to step 5:
731 can be fit into 6028 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 180.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 5848 from 6028 leaves us with 180.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 180, then repeat: 1804 / 731

On to step 6:
1804 divided by 731 is 2 with a remainder of 342.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 582.0
Subtracting 1462 from 1804 leaves us with 342.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 342, then carry on: 3424 / 731

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 3424 by 731, we get 4 with a remainder of 500.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5824.0
If we subtract 2924 from 3424, we get 500.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 500 and continue with: 5007 / 731

Let's proceed to step 8:
5007 divided by 731 is 6 with a remainder of 621.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58246.0
If we take 4386 away from 5007, we end up with 621.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6210, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 6210 by 731, we get 8 with a remainder of 362.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58246.8
The remainder is 362 after subtracting 5848 from 6210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3620, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 3620 by 731, we get 4 with a remainder of 696.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58246.84
Deduct 2924 from 3620 and we're left with 696.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
731 goes into 6960 9 times with a remainder of 381.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58246.849
Subtracting 6579 from 6960 leaves us with 381.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3810, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
731 goes into 3810 5 times with a remainder of 155.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58246.8495
If we subtract 3655 from 3810, we 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 1550 by 731, we get 2 with a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58246.84952
Deduct 1462 from 1550 and we're left with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
731 can be fit into 880 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 149.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58246.849521
If we subtract 731 from 880, we get 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 1490 by 731, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58246.8495212
If we take 1462 away from 1490, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 280 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 280.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58246.8495212
Subtracting 0 from 280 leaves us with 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

The final result is 58246.8495212 with a remainder of 2.8e-07.
