We look at the division of 42879976 by 722 
Let's see how many times 722 fits into 42879976.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 722 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 722

Going ahead to step 2:
42 divided by 722 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 428 / 722

Let's proceed to step 3:
722 goes into 428 0 times with a remainder of 428.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 428, we get 428.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 428, then carry on: 4287 / 722

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 4287 by 722, we get 5 and a remainder of 677.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 3610 from 4287 to get 677.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 677 and continue: 6779 / 722

Moving on to step 5:
6779 divided by 722 is 9 with a remainder of 281.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 281 after subtracting 6498 from 6779.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 281 and repeat the process: 2819 / 722

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 2819 by 722, we get 3 with a remainder of 653.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 593.0
If we subtract 2166 from 2819, we get 653.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 653 and continue: 6537 / 722

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 722 fits into 6537 9 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5939.0
Subtracting 6498 from 6537 leaves us with 39.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 396 / 722

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 396 by 722, we get 0 and a remainder of 396.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59390.0
The remainder is 396 after subtracting 0 from 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 722 fits into 3960 5 times, leaving a remainder of 350.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59390.5
If we subtract 3610 from 3960, we get 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3500, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
722 can be fit into 3500 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 612.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59390.54
Deduct 2888 from 3500 and we're left with 612.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
6120 divided by 722 is 8 with a remainder of 344.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59390.548
Subtracting 5776 from 6120 leaves us with 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 722 fits into 3440 4 times, leaving a remainder of 552.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59390.5484
If we subtract 2888 from 3440, we get 552.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 5520 by 722, we get 7 with a remainder of 466.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59390.54847
If we take 5054 away from 5520, we end up with 466.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
722 goes into 4660 6 times with a remainder of 328.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 59390.548476
Deduct 4332 from 4660 and we're left with 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
722 can be fit into 3280 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 392.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59390.5484764
If we take 2888 away from 3280, we end up with 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 3920 by 722, we get 5 and a remainder of 310.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59390.54847645
Subtract 3610 from 3920 to get 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3100, and continue the process.

The final result is 59390.54847645 with a remainder of 3.1e-07.
