We divide 42600889 by 197
We want to divide 42600889 by 197.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 197, we get 0 and 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.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 197

Let's proceed to step 2:
197 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 426 / 197

Step 3:
197 goes into 426 2 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 394 from 426 to get 32.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 320 / 197

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 320 by 197, we get 1 and a remainder of 123.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 197 from 320, we get 123.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 123, then repeat: 1230 / 197

Step 5:
197 goes into 1230 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 216.0
Deduct 1182 from 1230 and we're left with 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 488 / 197

On to step 6:
488 divided by 197 is 2 with a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2162.0
Deduct 394 from 488 and we're left with 94.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 94 and continue: 948 / 197

Going ahead to step 7:
197 goes into 948 4 times with a remainder of 160.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 21624.0
Subtracting 788 from 948 leaves us with 160.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 160, then repeat: 1609 / 197

Moving on to step 8:
The number 197 fits into 1609 8 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 216248.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 1576 from 1609.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 330 by 197, we get 1 with a remainder of 133.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 216248.1
The remainder is 133 after subtracting 197 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
197 can be fit into 1330 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 148.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 216248.16
The remainder is 148 after subtracting 1182 from 1330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
1480 divided by 197 is 7 with a remainder of 101.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 216248.167
The remainder is 101 after subtracting 1379 from 1480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 1010 by 197, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 216248.1675
Subtract 985 from 1010 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
197 goes into 250 1 times with a remainder of 53.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 216248.16751
If we take 197 away from 250, we end up with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 197 fits into 530 2 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 216248.167512
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 394 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 197 fits into 1360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 178.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 216248.1675126
Subtract 1182 from 1360 to get 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
When dividing 1780 by 197, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 216248.16751269
Subtract 1773 from 1780 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

The final result is 216248.16751269 with a remainder of 7e-09.
