We divide 42318591 by 873
We're looking to find how many times 873 goes into 42318591.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 873 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 873

On to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 873, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 423 / 873

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 873 fits into 423 0 times, leaving a remainder of 423.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 423 leaves us with 423.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 423, then carry on: 4231 / 873

Advancing to step 4:
The number 873 fits into 4231 4 times, leaving a remainder of 739.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 739 after subtracting 3492 from 4231.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 739, then carry on: 7398 / 873

Step 5:
The number 873 fits into 7398 8 times, leaving a remainder of 414.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 6984 from 7398 and we're left with 414.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 414 and continue with: 4145 / 873

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 4145 by 873, we get 4 and a remainder of 653.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 484.0
Deduct 3492 from 4145 and we're left with 653.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 653 and repeat the process: 6539 / 873

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 873 fits into 6539 7 times, leaving a remainder of 428.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4847.0
Subtract 6111 from 6539 to get 428.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 428 and continue with: 4281 / 873

Let's proceed to step 8:
873 can be fit into 4281 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 789.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48474.0
Subtract 3492 from 4281 to get 789.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7890, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 7890 by 873, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48474.9
Subtract 7857 from 7890 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 330 by 873, we get 0 with a remainder of 330.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48474.9
The remainder is 330 after subtracting 0 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 3300 by 873, we get 3 and a remainder of 681.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48474.903
If we take 2619 away from 3300, we end up with 681.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
873 goes into 6810 7 times with a remainder of 699.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48474.9037
If we take 6111 away from 6810, we end up with 699.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6990, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 6990 by 873, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48474.90378
Deduct 6984 from 6990 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 873, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48474.90378
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 873 fits into 600 0 times, leaving a remainder of 600.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 48474.90378
If we take 0 away from 600, we end up with 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6000, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 48474.90378 with a balance of 6e-06.
