We're dividing 42426502 by 87 
Our goal is to divide 42426502 by 87.

Step 1:
87 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 87

Step 2:
42 divided by 87 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.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 424 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 424 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 348 from 424 to get 76.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 76 and continue with: 762 / 87

Step 4:
762 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 696 from 762.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 666 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 can be fit into 666 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 487.0
Deduct 609 from 666 and we're left with 57.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 575 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 575 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 53.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4876.0
Subtracting 522 from 575 leaves us with 53.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 530 / 87

Step 7:
87 can be fit into 530 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48766.0
If we take 522 away from 530, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 82 / 87

Step 8:
82 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 82.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 487660.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 0 from 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
87 goes into 820 9 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 487660.9
Subtracting 783 from 820 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
370 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 487660.94
If we take 348 away from 370, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 220 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 487660.942
Subtracting 174 from 220 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
87 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 487660.9425
Subtract 435 from 460 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 250 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 487660.94252
Subtract 174 from 250 to 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.

Step 14:
The number 87 fits into 760 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 487660.942528
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 696 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
87 can be fit into 640 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 487660.9425287
Subtract 609 from 640 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 310 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 487660.94252873
If we take 261 away from 310, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 487660.94252873 with a balance of 4.9e-08.
