We look at the division of 42917333 by 279 
We're looking to find how many times 279 goes into 42917333.

Step 1:
4 divided by 279 is 0 with 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.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 279

On to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 279, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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 / 279

Step 3:
279 goes into 429 1 times with a remainder of 150.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 279 from 429 leaves us with 150.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 150, then carry on: 1501 / 279

Advancing to step 4:
1501 divided by 279 is 5 with a remainder of 106.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 1395 from 1501.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 106, then repeat: 1067 / 279

Step 5:
The number 279 fits into 1067 3 times, leaving a remainder of 230.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 153.0
If we take 837 away from 1067, we end up with 230.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 230 and repeat the process: 2303 / 279

Let's proceed to step 6:
279 goes into 2303 8 times with a remainder of 71.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1538.0
Subtracting 2232 from 2303 leaves us with 71.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 713 / 279

On to step 7:
713 divided by 279 is 2 with a remainder of 155.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15382.0
If we take 558 away from 713, we end up with 155.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 155 and continue with: 1553 / 279

Step 8:
279 can be fit into 1553 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 158.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 153825.0
Subtract 1395 from 1553 to get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
1580 divided by 279 is 5 with a remainder of 185.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 153825.5
Subtract 1395 from 1580 to get 185.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 1850 by 279, we get 6 with a remainder of 176.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 153825.56
Subtracting 1674 from 1850 leaves us with 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 279 fits into 1760 6 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 153825.566
Subtract 1674 from 1760 to get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 153825.566, and the remainder is 0.0086.
