Let's divide 42865493 by 598
We want to figure out the number of times 42865493 can be divided by 598.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 598, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 598

Moving on to step 2:
The number 598 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 428 / 598

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 428 by 598, we get 0 and a remainder of 428.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 428 after subtracting 0 from 428.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 428, then repeat: 4286 / 598

Step 4:
When dividing 4286 by 598, we get 7 with a remainder of 100.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 4186 from 4286, we get 100.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 100, then repeat: 1005 / 598

Advancing to step 5:
598 goes into 1005 1 times with a remainder of 407.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtracting 598 from 1005 leaves us with 407.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 407, then repeat: 4074 / 598

Let's proceed to step 6:
4074 divided by 598 is 6 with a remainder of 486.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 716.0
Deduct 3588 from 4074 and we're left with 486.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 486, then repeat: 4869 / 598

On to step 7:
The number 598 fits into 4869 8 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7168.0
Subtract 4784 from 4869 to get 85.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 853 / 598

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 853 by 598, we get 1 and a remainder of 255.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71681.0
The remainder is 255 after subtracting 598 from 853.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 2550 by 598, we get 4 with a remainder of 158.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71681.4
If we subtract 2392 from 2550, we get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
598 goes into 1580 2 times with a remainder of 384.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 71681.42
Deduct 1196 from 1580 and we're left with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
598 goes into 3840 6 times with a remainder of 252.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71681.426
Deduct 3588 from 3840 and we're left with 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 2520 by 598, we get 4 and a remainder of 128.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71681.4264
Deduct 2392 from 2520 and we're left with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 598 fits into 1280 2 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 71681.42642
Subtracting 1196 from 1280 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
598 goes into 840 1 times with a remainder of 242.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71681.426421
Subtracting 598 from 840 leaves us with 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
2420 divided by 598 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71681.4264214
If we subtract 2392 from 2420, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 280 by 598, we get 0 and a remainder of 280.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71681.4264214
If we take 0 away from 280, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 71681.4264214 and a remainder of 2.8e-07.
