We divide 42229780 by 875
Our goal is to divide 42229780 by 875.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 875 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 875

Moving on to step 2:
The number 875 fits into 42 0 times, leaving 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 / 875

Advancing to step 3:
875 goes into 422 0 times with a remainder of 422.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 422 to get 422.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 422, then repeat: 4222 / 875

Advancing to step 4:
875 can be fit into 4222 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 722.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 3500 away from 4222, we end up with 722.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 722 and continue: 7229 / 875

Moving on to step 5:
875 goes into 7229 8 times with a remainder of 229.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 7000 from 7229 and we're left with 229.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 229, then carry on: 2297 / 875

Step 6:
If we divide 2297 by 875, we get 2 and a remainder of 547.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 482.0
Subtracting 1750 from 2297 leaves us with 547.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 547, then carry on: 5478 / 875

Moving on to step 7:
875 can be fit into 5478 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 228.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4826.0
Subtract 5250 from 5478 to get 228.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 228 and repeat the process: 2280 / 875

Step 8:
When dividing 2280 by 875, we get 2 with a remainder of 530.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48262.0
If we take 1750 away from 2280, we end up with 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 5300 by 875, we get 6 and a remainder of 50.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48262.6
Deduct 5250 from 5300 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 875 fits into 500 0 times, leaving a remainder of 500.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48262.6
Subtract 0 from 500 to get 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 5000 by 875, we get 5 with a remainder of 625.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48262.605
The remainder is 625 after subtracting 4375 from 5000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
875 goes into 6250 7 times with a remainder of 125.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48262.6057
If we take 6125 away from 6250, we end up with 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
875 can be fit into 1250 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 375.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48262.60571
If we subtract 875 from 1250, we get 375.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
875 goes into 3750 4 times with a remainder of 250.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48262.605714
Deduct 3500 from 3750 and we're left with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 2500 by 875, we get 2 and a remainder of 750.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48262.6057142
The remainder is 750 after subtracting 1750 from 2500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 7500 by 875, we get 8 with a remainder of 500.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48262.60571428
Subtracting 7000 from 7500 leaves us with 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

The final result is 48262.60571428 with a remainder of 5e-07.
