The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 887

Going ahead to step 2:
42 divided by 887 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 425 / 887

On to step 3:
887 can be fit into 425 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 425.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 425 leaves us with 425.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 425 and continue: 4257 / 887

On to step 4:
When dividing 4257 by 887, we get 4 with a remainder of 709.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 3548 from 4257 leaves us with 709.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 709, then repeat: 7096 / 887

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 7096 by 887, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 7096 from 7096 to get 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 887

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 9 by 887, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 480.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 90 / 887

Step 7:
90 divided by 887 is 0 with a remainder of 90.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4800.0
Deduct 0 from 90 and we're left with 90.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 90 and continue with: 901 / 887

Step 8:
887 goes into 901 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48001.0
Deduct 887 from 901 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
140 divided by 887 is 0 with a remainder of 140.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 48001.0
Subtract 0 from 140 to get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
1400 divided by 887 is 1 with a remainder of 513.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48001.01
Subtracting 887 from 1400 leaves us with 513.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 5130 by 887, we get 5 and a remainder of 695.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48001.015
If we subtract 4435 from 5130, we get 695.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6950, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 887 fits into 6950 7 times, leaving a remainder of 741.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48001.0157
If we take 6209 away from 6950, we end up with 741.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 887 fits into 7410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 314.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48001.01578
If we take 7096 away from 7410, we end up with 314.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 3140 by 887, we get 3 with a remainder of 479.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48001.015783
If we subtract 2661 from 3140, we get 479.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
887 can be fit into 4790 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 355.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 48001.0157835
Subtract 4435 from 4790 to get 355.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 3550 by 887, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48001.01578354
Deduct 3548 from 3550 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 48001.01578354 and a remainder of 2e-09.
