We're dividing 42437867 by 104 
Our goal is to divide 42437867 by 104.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 104, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 104

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 104, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 424 / 104

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 424 by 104, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 416 from 424 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 83 / 104

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 83 by 104, we get 0 and a remainder of 83.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 83 to get 83.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 83, then repeat: 837 / 104

Step 5:
837 divided by 104 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 408.0
If we subtract 832 from 837, we get 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 104

On to step 6:
The number 104 fits into 58 0 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4080.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 0 from 58.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 586 / 104

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 586 by 104, we get 5 and a remainder of 66.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40805.0
If we take 520 away from 586, we end up with 66.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 667 / 104

Step 8:
104 can be fit into 667 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 408056.0
If we take 624 away from 667, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 104 fits into 430 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 408056.4
Subtract 416 from 430 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
104 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 408056.41
Deduct 104 from 140 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
104 goes into 360 3 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 408056.413
If we take 312 away from 360, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
104 goes into 480 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408056.4134
If we take 416 away from 480, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 104 fits into 640 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 408056.41346
If we take 624 away from 640, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 14:
104 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 408056.413461
Deduct 104 from 160 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 104 fits into 560 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 408056.4134615
If we take 520 away from 560, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
400 divided by 104 is 3 with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 408056.41346153
The remainder is 88 after subtracting 312 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

The final result is 408056.41346153 with a remainder of 8.8e-08.
