We divide 4873881 by 427
We want to divide 4873881 by 427.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 427, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 427

On to step 2:
427 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 487 / 427

Advancing to step 3:
427 can be fit into 487 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 427 from 487.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 603 / 427

Moving on to step 4:
427 can be fit into 603 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 176.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 427 from 603, we get 176.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 176 and repeat the process: 1768 / 427

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 427 fits into 1768 4 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 114.0
Subtracting 1708 from 1768 leaves us with 60.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 608 / 427

Advancing to step 6:
427 can be fit into 608 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 181.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1141.0
Deduct 427 from 608 and we're left with 181.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 181, then carry on: 1811 / 427

Moving on to step 7:
The number 427 fits into 1811 4 times, leaving a remainder of 103.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11414.0
If we subtract 1708 from 1811, we get 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
427 can be fit into 1030 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 176.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11414.2
Subtract 854 from 1030 to get 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
1760 divided by 427 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11414.24
Subtract 1708 from 1760 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 520 by 427, we get 1 and a remainder of 93.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11414.241
If we subtract 427 from 520, we get 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Step 11:
930 divided by 427 is 2 with a remainder of 76.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11414.2412
If we subtract 854 from 930, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 427 fits into 760 1 times, leaving a remainder of 333.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11414.24121
Subtract 427 from 760 to get 333.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3330, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
3330 divided by 427 is 7 with a remainder of 341.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11414.241217
If we subtract 2989 from 3330, we get 341.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3410, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 3410 by 427, we get 7 and a remainder of 421.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11414.2412177
The remainder is 421 after subtracting 2989 from 3410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4210, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11414.2412177 with a remaining 4.21e-06.
