Let's divide 42279029 by 46
We want to divide 42279029 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 422 / 46

Step 3:
46 goes into 422 9 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 414 away from 422, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 87 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 91.0
Deduct 46 from 87 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 419 / 46

Step 5:
When dividing 419 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 919.0
If we take 414 away from 419, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
50 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9191.0
If we subtract 46 from 50, we get 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 46

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 91910.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 429 / 46

Going ahead to step 8:
46 goes into 429 9 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 919109.0
If we take 414 away from 429, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 9:
150 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 919109.3
Deduct 138 from 150 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 919109.32
Subtract 92 from 120 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 919109.326
If we subtract 276 from 280, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 919109.326
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 919109.32608
Subtracting 368 from 400 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 919109.326086
If we subtract 276 from 320, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 440 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 919109.3260869
Subtract 414 from 440 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
46 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 919109.32608695
If we subtract 230 from 260, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 919109.32608695 and a remainder of 3e-08.
