Let's divide 42731746 by 287
We're looking to find how many times 287 goes into 42731746.

Let's proceed to step 1:
287 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of 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 / 287

On to step 2:
42 divided by 287 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 427 / 287

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 427 by 287, we get 1 and a remainder of 140.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 287 from 427 and we're left with 140.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 140 and continue with: 1403 / 287

On to step 4:
The number 287 fits into 1403 4 times, leaving a remainder of 255.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 1148 from 1403 leaves us with 255.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 255 and continue: 2551 / 287

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 2551 by 287, we get 8 with a remainder of 255.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148.0
Subtract 2296 from 2551 to get 255.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 255, then carry on: 2557 / 287

On to step 6:
287 can be fit into 2557 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 261.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1488.0
Subtracting 2296 from 2557 leaves us with 261.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 261, then repeat: 2614 / 287

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 2614 by 287, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14889.0
If we subtract 2583 from 2614, we get 31.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 316 / 287

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 316 by 287, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 148891.0
If we take 287 away from 316, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
290 divided by 287 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148891.1
Subtracting 287 from 290 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 30 by 287, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148891.1
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 300 by 287, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148891.101
If we subtract 287 from 300, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
287 can be fit into 130 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 130.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148891.101
Deduct 0 from 130 and we're left with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
287 goes into 1300 4 times with a remainder of 152.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148891.10104
Subtracting 1148 from 1300 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
287 can be fit into 1520 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148891.101045
If we take 1435 away from 1520, we end up with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 850 by 287, we get 2 and a remainder of 276.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148891.1010452
Subtract 574 from 850 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.

On to step 16:
2760 divided by 287 is 9 with a remainder of 177.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148891.10104529
Deduct 2583 from 2760 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 148891.10104529, with a leftover of 1.77e-07.
