We're dividing 42497807 by 874 
We want to figure out the number of times 42497807 can be divided by 874.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 874, we get 0 and 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.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 874

Step 2:
874 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 424 / 874

Advancing to step 3:
The number 874 fits into 424 0 times, leaving a remainder of 424.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 424, we get 424.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 424 and continue: 4249 / 874

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 4249 by 874, we get 4 with a remainder of 753.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3496 from 4249 and we're left with 753.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 753, then repeat: 7537 / 874

On to step 5:
When dividing 7537 by 874, we get 8 with a remainder of 545.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 6992 away from 7537, we end up with 545.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 545, then repeat: 5458 / 874

Advancing to step 6:
874 goes into 5458 6 times with a remainder of 214.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 486.0
Deduct 5244 from 5458 and we're left with 214.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 214 and continue: 2140 / 874

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 2140 by 874, we get 2 and a remainder of 392.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4862.0
If we subtract 1748 from 2140, we get 392.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 392 and repeat the process: 3927 / 874

Moving on to step 8:
874 can be fit into 3927 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 431.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48624.0
Subtracting 3496 from 3927 leaves us with 431.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 4310 by 874, we get 4 with a remainder of 814.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48624.4
If we take 3496 away from 4310, we end up with 814.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8140, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 8140 by 874, we get 9 and a remainder of 274.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 48624.49
Subtract 7866 from 8140 to get 274.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
874 goes into 2740 3 times with a remainder of 118.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48624.493
Subtracting 2622 from 2740 leaves us with 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 1180 by 874, we get 1 and a remainder of 306.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 48624.4931
The remainder is 306 after subtracting 874 from 1180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3060, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 874 fits into 3060 3 times, leaving a remainder of 438.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48624.49313
If we subtract 2622 from 3060, we get 438.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 4380 by 874, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48624.493135
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 4370 from 4380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
The number 874 fits into 100 0 times, leaving a remainder of 100.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48624.493135
Subtracting 0 from 100 leaves us with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
874 can be fit into 1000 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 126.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48624.49313501
If we take 874 away from 1000, we end up with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

The final result is 48624.49313501 with a remainder of 1.26e-07.
