Let's divide 42749968 by 659
Our goal is to divide 42749968 by 659.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 659, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 659

Advancing to step 2:
42 divided by 659 is 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.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 427 / 659

On to step 3:
427 divided by 659 is 0 with a remainder of 427.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 427 to get 427.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 427, then repeat: 4274 / 659

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 659 fits into 4274 6 times, leaving a remainder of 320.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 3954 from 4274 leaves us with 320.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 320 and continue: 3209 / 659

On to step 5:
3209 divided by 659 is 4 with a remainder of 573.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Deduct 2636 from 3209 and we're left with 573.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 573, then repeat: 5739 / 659

Step 6:
If we divide 5739 by 659, we get 8 and a remainder of 467.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 648.0
Subtracting 5272 from 5739 leaves us with 467.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 467, then carry on: 4676 / 659

On to step 7:
The number 659 fits into 4676 7 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6487.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 4613 from 4676.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 638 / 659

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 659 fits into 638 0 times, leaving a remainder of 638.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64870.0
If we subtract 0 from 638, we get 638.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
6380 divided by 659 is 9 with a remainder of 449.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64870.9
Subtract 5931 from 6380 to get 449.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
659 goes into 4490 6 times with a remainder of 536.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 64870.96
Deduct 3954 from 4490 and we're left with 536.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
5360 divided by 659 is 8 with a remainder of 88.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 64870.968
Deduct 5272 from 5360 and we're left with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Step 12:
659 can be fit into 880 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 221.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64870.9681
If we subtract 659 from 880, we get 221.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 2210 by 659, we get 3 with a remainder of 233.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64870.96813
If we take 1977 away from 2210, we end up with 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
659 goes into 2330 3 times with a remainder of 353.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64870.968133
If we subtract 1977 from 2330, we get 353.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3530, and continue the process.

Our division results in 64870.968133 with a remaining 3.53e-05.
