4218497 ÷ 859 
We want to divide 4218497 by 859.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 859, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 859

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 859, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 421 / 859

Advancing to step 3:
421 divided by 859 is 0 with a remainder of 421.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 421 after subtracting 0 from 421.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 421, then carry on: 4218 / 859

On to step 4:
The number 859 fits into 4218 4 times, leaving a remainder of 782.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 782 after subtracting 3436 from 4218.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 782, then repeat: 7824 / 859

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 859 fits into 7824 9 times, leaving a remainder of 93.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 93 after subtracting 7731 from 7824.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 93, then carry on: 939 / 859

Advancing to step 6:
859 can be fit into 939 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 491.0
If we take 859 away from 939, we end up with 80.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 80, then carry on: 807 / 859

Advancing to step 7:
807 divided by 859 is 0 with a remainder of 807.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4910.0
Subtracting 0 from 807 leaves us with 807.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8070, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 859 fits into 8070 9 times, leaving a remainder of 339.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4910.9
If we subtract 7731 from 8070, we get 339.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 3390 by 859, we get 3 and a remainder of 813.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4910.93
The remainder is 813 after subtracting 2577 from 3390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
859 goes into 8130 9 times with a remainder of 399.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4910.939
The remainder is 399 after subtracting 7731 from 8130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3990, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
859 goes into 3990 4 times with a remainder of 554.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4910.9394
The remainder is 554 after subtracting 3436 from 3990.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 5540 by 859, we get 6 with a remainder of 386.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4910.93946
Subtract 5154 from 5540 to get 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

Step 13:
3860 divided by 859 is 4 with a remainder of 424.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4910.939464
The remainder is 424 after subtracting 3436 from 3860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 4240 by 859, we get 4 and a remainder of 804.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4910.9394644
The remainder is 804 after subtracting 3436 from 4240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8040, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4910.9394644 and a remainder of 8.04e-06.
