We look at the division of 42878985 by 291 
We want to divide 42878985 by 291.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 291, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 291

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 291, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 428 / 291

Step 3:
291 can be fit into 428 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 137.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 291 from 428 leaves us with 137.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 137, then repeat: 1377 / 291

Let's proceed to step 4:
291 can be fit into 1377 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 213.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 1164 from 1377 leaves us with 213.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 213, then carry on: 2138 / 291

Step 5:
2138 divided by 291 is 7 with a remainder of 101.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 147.0
Subtract 2037 from 2138 to get 101.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 101, then carry on: 1019 / 291

Step 6:
291 can be fit into 1019 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 146.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1473.0
Subtract 873 from 1019 to get 146.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 146 and continue with: 1468 / 291

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 1468 by 291, we get 5 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14735.0
If we subtract 1455 from 1468, we get 13.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 135 / 291

Step 8:
The number 291 fits into 135 0 times, leaving a remainder of 135.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 147350.0
If we take 0 away from 135, we end up with 135.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 1350 by 291, we get 4 and a remainder of 186.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 147350.4
The remainder is 186 after subtracting 1164 from 1350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 291 fits into 1860 6 times, leaving a remainder of 114.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 147350.46
Subtract 1746 from 1860 to get 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
1140 divided by 291 is 3 with a remainder of 267.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 147350.463
Subtract 873 from 1140 to get 267.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
291 goes into 2670 9 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 147350.4639
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 2619 from 2670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 291 fits into 510 1 times, leaving a remainder of 219.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 147350.46391
The remainder is 219 after subtracting 291 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 291 fits into 2190 7 times, leaving a remainder of 153.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 147350.463917
Subtract 2037 from 2190 to get 153.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1530, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 291 fits into 1530 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 147350.4639175
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 1455 from 1530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 291 fits into 750 2 times, leaving a remainder of 168.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 147350.46391752
The remainder is 168 after subtracting 582 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 147350.46391752 with a balance of 1.68e-07.
