We divide 42779543 by 247
Our goal is to divide 42779543 by 247.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 247, we get 0 with 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 (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 247

On to step 2:
42 divided by 247 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 427 / 247

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 427 by 247, we get 1 with a remainder of 180.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 247 from 427 and we're left with 180.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 180, then carry on: 1807 / 247

Step 4:
1807 divided by 247 is 7 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 1729 away from 1807, we end up with 78.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 78, then repeat: 789 / 247

Let's proceed to step 5:
247 goes into 789 3 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173.0
Deduct 741 from 789 and we're left with 48.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 485 / 247

Going ahead to step 6:
247 can be fit into 485 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 238.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1731.0
Deduct 247 from 485 and we're left with 238.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 238 and continue with: 2384 / 247

On to step 7:
2384 divided by 247 is 9 with a remainder of 161.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17319.0
The remainder is 161 after subtracting 2223 from 2384.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 161, then carry on: 1613 / 247

On to step 8:
If we divide 1613 by 247, we get 6 and a remainder of 131.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 173196.0
Subtracting 1482 from 1613 leaves us with 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 1310 by 247, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 173196.5
If we subtract 1235 from 1310, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 750 by 247, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173196.53
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 741 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 90 by 247, we get 0 with a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 173196.53
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
247 goes into 900 3 times with a remainder of 159.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 173196.5303
Subtract 741 from 900 to get 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 1590 by 247, we get 6 and a remainder of 108.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 173196.53036
If we take 1482 away from 1590, we end up with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 1080 by 247, we get 4 and a remainder of 92.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 173196.530364
If we take 988 away from 1080, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 920 by 247, we get 3 with a remainder of 179.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 173196.5303643
Subtract 741 from 920 to get 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
1790 divided by 247 is 7 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 173196.53036437
If we take 1729 away from 1790, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

The final result is 173196.53036437 with a remainder of 6.1e-08.
