Let's divide 42508462 by 679
Our goal is to divide 42508462 by 679.

Going ahead to step 1:
679 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.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 679

On to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 679, we get 0 with 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.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 425 / 679

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 425 by 679, we get 0 and a remainder of 425.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 425 and we're left with 425.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 425 and continue: 4250 / 679

Going ahead to step 4:
679 goes into 4250 6 times with a remainder of 176.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 176 after subtracting 4074 from 4250.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 176, then repeat: 1768 / 679

Let's proceed to step 5:
679 can be fit into 1768 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 410.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 1358 from 1768 and we're left with 410.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 410, then repeat: 4104 / 679

Advancing to step 6:
4104 divided by 679 is 6 with a remainder of 30.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 626.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 4074 from 4104.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 306 / 679

On to step 7:
679 can be fit into 306 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 306.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6260.0
Subtract 0 from 306 to get 306.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 306 and continue: 3062 / 679

Going ahead to step 8:
3062 divided by 679 is 4 with a remainder of 346.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62604.0
If we subtract 2716 from 3062, we get 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 679 fits into 3460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62604.5
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 3395 from 3460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 679 fits into 650 0 times, leaving a remainder of 650.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62604.5
Subtract 0 from 650 to get 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 6500 by 679, we get 9 and a remainder of 389.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62604.509
Subtracting 6111 from 6500 leaves us with 389.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3890, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
3890 divided by 679 is 5 with a remainder of 495.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62604.5095
Subtracting 3395 from 3890 leaves us with 495.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4950, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 679 fits into 4950 7 times, leaving a remainder of 197.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62604.50957
Subtract 4753 from 4950 to get 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1970, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
679 goes into 1970 2 times with a remainder of 612.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62604.509572
Deduct 1358 from 1970 and we're left with 612.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
679 goes into 6120 9 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62604.5095729
Subtracting 6111 from 6120 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 90 by 679, we get 0 with a remainder of 90.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62604.5095729
The remainder is 90 after subtracting 0 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 62604.5095729 with a balance of 9e-08.
