We look at the division of 42731915 by 505 
We're looking to find how many times 505 goes into 42731915.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 505 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 505

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 505, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 427 / 505

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 427 by 505, we get 0 with a remainder of 427.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 427 and we're left with 427.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 427 and continue: 4273 / 505

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 505 fits into 4273 8 times, leaving a remainder of 233.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 4040 from 4273, we get 233.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 233 and continue: 2331 / 505

Step 5:
When dividing 2331 by 505, we get 4 with a remainder of 311.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84.0
Subtract 2020 from 2331 to get 311.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 311 and continue: 3119 / 505

Advancing to step 6:
The number 505 fits into 3119 6 times, leaving a remainder of 89.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 846.0
Subtracting 3030 from 3119 leaves us with 89.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 89, then repeat: 891 / 505

Step 7:
When dividing 891 by 505, we get 1 with a remainder of 386.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8461.0
Subtract 505 from 891 to get 386.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 386, then repeat: 3865 / 505

Step 8:
505 can be fit into 3865 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 330.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84617.0
Deduct 3535 from 3865 and we're left with 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 3300 by 505, we get 6 and a remainder of 270.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84617.6
The remainder is 270 after subtracting 3030 from 3300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
505 goes into 2700 5 times with a remainder of 175.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84617.65
Subtracting 2525 from 2700 leaves us with 175.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 505 fits into 1750 3 times, leaving a remainder of 235.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 84617.653
If we take 1515 away from 1750, we end up with 235.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2350, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 2350 by 505, we get 4 and a remainder of 330.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84617.6534
If we subtract 2020 from 2350, we get 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 505 fits into 3300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 270.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84617.65346
If we subtract 3030 from 3300, we get 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 505 fits into 2700 5 times, leaving a remainder of 175.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84617.653465
If we take 2525 away from 2700, we end up with 175.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1750, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 1750 by 505, we get 3 and a remainder of 235.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84617.6534653
Deduct 1515 from 1750 and we're left with 235.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2350, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 2350 by 505, we get 4 and a remainder of 330.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 84617.65346534
The remainder is 330 after subtracting 2020 from 2350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 84617.65346534 and a remainder of 3.3e-07.
