2842942 divided by 587 
Our goal is to divide 2842942 by 587.

Going ahead to step 1:
587 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 587

Advancing to step 2:
28 divided by 587 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 587

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 587 fits into 284 0 times, leaving a remainder of 284.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 284 and we're left with 284.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 284, then carry on: 2842 / 587

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 2842 by 587, we get 4 with a remainder of 494.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 2348 from 2842 and we're left with 494.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 494, then repeat: 4949 / 587

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 587 fits into 4949 8 times, leaving a remainder of 253.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 4696 from 4949 to get 253.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 253 and continue: 2534 / 587

Moving on to step 6:
587 goes into 2534 4 times with a remainder of 186.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 484.0
Deduct 2348 from 2534 and we're left with 186.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 186 and continue with: 1862 / 587

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 1862 by 587, we get 3 and a remainder of 101.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4843.0
If we take 1761 away from 1862, we end up with 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
1010 divided by 587 is 1 with a remainder of 423.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4843.1
Subtracting 587 from 1010 leaves us with 423.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4230, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
587 can be fit into 4230 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 121.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4843.17
Subtracting 4109 from 4230 leaves us with 121.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
587 goes into 1210 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4843.172
Subtracting 1174 from 1210 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 587, we get 0 with a remainder of 360.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4843.172
The remainder is 360 after subtracting 0 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 587 fits into 3600 6 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4843.17206
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 3522 from 3600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 587 fits into 780 1 times, leaving a remainder of 193.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4843.172061
If we take 587 away from 780, we end up with 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 1930 by 587, we get 3 with a remainder of 169.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4843.1720613
Subtract 1761 from 1930 to get 169.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
The number 587 fits into 1690 2 times, leaving a remainder of 516.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4843.17206132
The remainder is 516 after subtracting 1174 from 1690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4843.17206132 and a remainder of 5.16e-07.
