We divide 4589578 by 342
We want to figure out the number of times 4589578 can be divided by 342.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 342, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 342

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 45 by 342, we get 0 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 45 leaves us with 45.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 458 / 342

Advancing to step 3:
342 goes into 458 1 times with a remainder of 116.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 342 from 458 leaves us with 116.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 116 and repeat the process: 1169 / 342

Moving on to step 4:
342 goes into 1169 3 times with a remainder of 143.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 1026 from 1169 to get 143.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 143, then carry on: 1435 / 342

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1435 by 342, we get 4 with a remainder of 67.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 134.0
If we take 1368 away from 1435, we end up with 67.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 677 / 342

Step 6:
When dividing 677 by 342, we get 1 with a remainder of 335.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1341.0
Subtracting 342 from 677 leaves us with 335.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 335, then repeat: 3358 / 342

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 3358 by 342, we get 9 with a remainder of 280.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13419.0
Subtracting 3078 from 3358 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 342 fits into 2800 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13419.8
Deduct 2736 from 2800 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 342 fits into 640 1 times, leaving a remainder of 298.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13419.81
If we take 342 away from 640, we end up with 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 2980 by 342, we get 8 and a remainder of 244.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13419.818
Subtract 2736 from 2980 to get 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 2440 by 342, we get 7 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13419.8187
Subtracting 2394 from 2440 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 460 by 342, we get 1 with a remainder of 118.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13419.81871
If we take 342 away from 460, we end up 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 13:
1180 divided by 342 is 3 with a remainder of 154.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13419.818713
Subtracting 1026 from 1180 leaves us with 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
1540 divided by 342 is 4 with a remainder of 172.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13419.8187134
The remainder is 172 after subtracting 1368 from 1540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 342 fits into 1720 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13419.81871345
If we take 1710 away from 1720, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13419.81871345 with a remaining 1e-08.
