42971969 divided by 786 
We want to divide 42971969 by 786.

On to step 1:
786 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
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 / 786

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 786, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 429 / 786

Moving on to step 3:
The number 786 fits into 429 0 times, leaving a remainder of 429.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 429 to get 429.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 429 and continue: 4297 / 786

Advancing to step 4:
786 goes into 4297 5 times with a remainder of 367.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 3930 from 4297, we get 367.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 367 and continue with: 3671 / 786

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 786 fits into 3671 4 times, leaving a remainder of 527.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 3144 away from 3671, we end up with 527.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 527, then repeat: 5279 / 786

Step 6:
786 can be fit into 5279 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 563.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 546.0
If we subtract 4716 from 5279, we get 563.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 563 and continue: 5636 / 786

On to step 7:
If we divide 5636 by 786, we get 7 and a remainder of 134.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5467.0
If we subtract 5502 from 5636, we get 134.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 134 and continue: 1349 / 786

On to step 8:
786 can be fit into 1349 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 563.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 54671.0
Deduct 786 from 1349 and we're left with 563.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5630, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 5630 by 786, we get 7 with a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54671.7
Subtract 5502 from 5630 to get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 786 fits into 1280 1 times, leaving a remainder of 494.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 54671.71
The remainder is 494 after subtracting 786 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4940, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
786 can be fit into 4940 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 224.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54671.716
The remainder is 224 after subtracting 4716 from 4940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
786 goes into 2240 2 times with a remainder of 668.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54671.7162
Subtracting 1572 from 2240 leaves us with 668.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6680, and continue the process.

Step 13:
786 can be fit into 6680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 392.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54671.71628
Deduct 6288 from 6680 and we're left with 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
3920 divided by 786 is 4 with a remainder of 776.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54671.716284
Subtracting 3144 from 3920 leaves us with 776.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7760, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 7760 by 786, we get 9 with a remainder of 686.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 54671.7162849
If we take 7074 away from 7760, we end up with 686.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
786 goes into 6860 8 times with a remainder of 572.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54671.71628498
The remainder is 572 after subtracting 6288 from 6860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 54671.71628498 with a balance of 5.72e-07.
