We're dividing 42835469 by 974 
Our goal is to divide 42835469 by 974.

Step 1:
The number 974 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 974

Advancing to step 2:
974 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 428 / 974

Moving on to step 3:
The number 974 fits into 428 0 times, leaving a remainder of 428.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 428 leaves us with 428.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 428 and repeat the process: 4283 / 974

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 4283 by 974, we get 4 with a remainder of 387.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3896 from 4283 to get 387.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 387 and repeat the process: 3875 / 974

Step 5:
974 goes into 3875 3 times with a remainder of 953.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 2922 from 3875, we get 953.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 953, then repeat: 9534 / 974

Let's proceed to step 6:
9534 divided by 974 is 9 with a remainder of 768.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 439.0
The remainder is 768 after subtracting 8766 from 9534.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 768, then carry on: 7686 / 974

Moving on to step 7:
974 can be fit into 7686 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 868.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4397.0
Subtract 6818 from 7686 to get 868.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 868 and continue with: 8689 / 974

Let's proceed to step 8:
8689 divided by 974 is 8 with a remainder of 897.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 43978.0
The remainder is 897 after subtracting 7792 from 8689.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8970, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
974 can be fit into 8970 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 204.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43978.9
Subtracting 8766 from 8970 leaves us with 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
2040 divided by 974 is 2 with a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 43978.92
Subtracting 1948 from 2040 leaves us with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
920 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 920.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43978.92
If we take 0 away from 920, we end up with 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 974 fits into 9200 9 times, leaving a remainder of 434.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 43978.9209
The remainder is 434 after subtracting 8766 from 9200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
974 goes into 4340 4 times with a remainder of 444.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43978.92094
Deduct 3896 from 4340 and we're left with 444.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4440, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 4440 by 974, we get 4 with a remainder of 544.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43978.920944
If we subtract 3896 from 4440, we get 544.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5440, and continue the process.

The final result is 43978.920944 with a remainder of 5.44e-05.
