We divide 42740693 by 996
We're looking to find how many times 996 goes into 42740693.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 996, we get 0 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.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 996

Let's proceed to step 2:
996 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in 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.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 427 / 996

On to step 3:
996 can be fit into 427 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 427.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 427 to get 427.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 427, then carry on: 4274 / 996

Step 4:
When dividing 4274 by 996, we get 4 with a remainder of 290.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3984 from 4274 to get 290.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 290, then repeat: 2900 / 996

Step 5:
996 goes into 2900 2 times with a remainder of 908.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 1992 away from 2900, we end up with 908.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 908 and repeat the process: 9086 / 996

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 9086 by 996, we get 9 and a remainder of 122.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 429.0
Subtract 8964 from 9086 to get 122.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 122 and continue: 1229 / 996

On to step 7:
The number 996 fits into 1229 1 times, leaving a remainder of 233.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4291.0
Deduct 996 from 1229 and we're left with 233.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 233 and continue with: 2333 / 996

Let's proceed to step 8:
2333 divided by 996 is 2 with a remainder of 341.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42912.0
Deduct 1992 from 2333 and we're left with 341.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 3410 by 996, we get 3 with a remainder of 422.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42912.3
Subtract 2988 from 3410 to get 422.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 996 fits into 4220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 236.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 42912.34
Subtracting 3984 from 4220 leaves us with 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 2360 by 996, we get 2 and a remainder of 368.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42912.342
If we subtract 1992 from 2360, we get 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
3680 divided by 996 is 3 with a remainder of 692.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42912.3423
Subtracting 2988 from 3680 leaves us with 692.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
996 goes into 6920 6 times with a remainder of 944.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42912.34236
If we subtract 5976 from 6920, we get 944.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9440, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 9440 by 996, we get 9 and a remainder of 476.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42912.342369
Deduct 8964 from 9440 and we're left with 476.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
The number 996 fits into 4760 4 times, leaving a remainder of 776.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42912.3423694
If we take 3984 away from 4760, we end up with 776.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
996 can be fit into 7760 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 788.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42912.34236947
Deduct 6972 from 7760 and we're left with 788.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7880, and continue the process.

Our division results in 42912.34236947 with a remaining 7.88e-07.
