4242492 ÷ 821 
Our goal is to divide 4242492 by 821.

Advancing to step 1:
821 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 821

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 821, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 424 / 821

Moving on to step 3:
424 divided by 821 is 0 with a remainder of 424.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 424, we end up with 424.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 424 and continue: 4242 / 821

Advancing to step 4:
821 can be fit into 4242 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 137.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 4105 from 4242 to get 137.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 137 and continue with: 1374 / 821

Advancing to step 5:
1374 divided by 821 is 1 with a remainder of 553.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we take 821 away from 1374, we end up with 553.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 553 and continue: 5539 / 821

Advancing to step 6:
821 can be fit into 5539 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 613.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 516.0
Subtract 4926 from 5539 to get 613.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 613, then repeat: 6132 / 821

Going ahead to step 7:
821 goes into 6132 7 times with a remainder of 385.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5167.0
If we take 5747 away from 6132, we end up with 385.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3850, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 3850 by 821, we get 4 with a remainder of 566.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5167.4
Subtract 3284 from 3850 to get 566.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5660, and continue the process.

Step 9:
5660 divided by 821 is 6 with a remainder of 734.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5167.46
Subtract 4926 from 5660 to get 734.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 821 fits into 7340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 772.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5167.468
The remainder is 772 after subtracting 6568 from 7340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
821 can be fit into 7720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 331.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5167.4689
Subtract 7389 from 7720 to get 331.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
821 can be fit into 3310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5167.46894
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 3284 from 3310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
260 divided by 821 is 0 with a remainder of 260.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5167.46894
Subtract 0 from 260 to get 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 2600 by 821, we get 3 with a remainder of 137.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5167.4689403
The remainder is 137 after subtracting 2463 from 2600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
821 can be fit into 1370 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 549.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5167.46894031
If we subtract 821 from 1370, we get 549.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5490, and continue the process.

The final result is 5167.46894031 with a remainder of 5.49e-07.
