Let's divide 42697730 by 872
Let's see how many times 872 fits into 42697730.

On to step 1:
The number 872 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
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 872

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 872, we get 0 and 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.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 426 / 872

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 872 fits into 426 0 times, leaving a remainder of 426.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 426 and we're left with 426.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 426 and repeat the process: 4269 / 872

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 4269 by 872, we get 4 and a remainder of 781.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 3488 away from 4269, we end up with 781.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 781 and repeat the process: 7817 / 872

Step 5:
The number 872 fits into 7817 8 times, leaving a remainder of 841.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we subtract 6976 from 7817, we get 841.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 841 and repeat the process: 8417 / 872

On to step 6:
872 can be fit into 8417 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 569.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 489.0
Deduct 7848 from 8417 and we're left with 569.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 569, then carry on: 5693 / 872

Advancing to step 7:
The number 872 fits into 5693 6 times, leaving a remainder of 461.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4896.0
Subtract 5232 from 5693 to get 461.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 461 and repeat the process: 4610 / 872

Advancing to step 8:
The number 872 fits into 4610 5 times, leaving a remainder of 250.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48965.0
Deduct 4360 from 4610 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.

On to step 9:
872 goes into 2500 2 times with a remainder of 756.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 48965.2
Subtracting 1744 from 2500 leaves us with 756.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
7560 divided by 872 is 8 with a remainder of 584.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48965.28
If we take 6976 away from 7560, we end up with 584.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 5840 by 872, we get 6 with a remainder of 608.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48965.286
Subtracting 5232 from 5840 leaves us with 608.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6080, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
872 goes into 6080 6 times with a remainder of 848.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 48965.2866
The remainder is 848 after subtracting 5232 from 6080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 48965.2866 with a remaining 0.00848.
