Let's divide 42983257 by 277
We're looking to find how many times 277 goes into 42983257.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 277, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 277

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 277, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 429 / 277

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 429 by 277, we get 1 and a remainder of 152.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 277 away from 429, we end up with 152.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 152, then carry on: 1528 / 277

On to step 4:
When dividing 1528 by 277, we get 5 with a remainder of 143.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 1385 from 1528 to get 143.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 143, then repeat: 1433 / 277

Moving on to step 5:
The number 277 fits into 1433 5 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 155.0
Deduct 1385 from 1433 and we're left with 48.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 482 / 277

Let's proceed to step 6:
277 goes into 482 1 times with a remainder of 205.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1551.0
The remainder is 205 after subtracting 277 from 482.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 205 and continue with: 2055 / 277

Going ahead to step 7:
2055 divided by 277 is 7 with a remainder of 116.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15517.0
Subtracting 1939 from 2055 leaves us with 116.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 116 and continue: 1167 / 277

Going ahead to step 8:
277 goes into 1167 4 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 155174.0
If we take 1108 away from 1167, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
277 can be fit into 590 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 155174.2
Deduct 554 from 590 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 277 fits into 360 1 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155174.21
Subtracting 277 from 360 leaves us with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 277 fits into 830 2 times, leaving a remainder of 276.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 155174.212
Subtract 554 from 830 to get 276.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
2760 divided by 277 is 9 with a remainder of 267.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155174.2129
Deduct 2493 from 2760 and we're left with 267.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
2670 divided by 277 is 9 with a remainder of 177.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 155174.21299
Deduct 2493 from 2670 and we're left with 177.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1770, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 155174.21299, with a leftover of 0.000177.
