42116801 divided by 872 
We want to divide 42116801 by 872.

Moving on to step 1:
872 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 872

Step 2:
When dividing 42 by 872, we get 0 with 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.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 421 / 872

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 421 by 872, we get 0 and a remainder of 421.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 421 to get 421.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 421, then repeat: 4211 / 872

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 4211 by 872, we get 4 and a remainder of 723.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 3488 from 4211, we get 723.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 723 and continue with: 7236 / 872

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 7236 by 872, we get 8 with a remainder of 260.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 6976 from 7236 leaves us with 260.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 260, then carry on: 2608 / 872

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 2608 by 872, we get 2 and a remainder of 864.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 482.0
Subtract 1744 from 2608 to get 864.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 864, then repeat: 8640 / 872

On to step 7:
872 can be fit into 8640 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 792.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4829.0
If we subtract 7848 from 8640, we get 792.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 792 and repeat the process: 7921 / 872

Moving on to step 8:
The number 872 fits into 7921 9 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48299.0
Deduct 7848 from 7921 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 730 by 872, we get 0 with a remainder of 730.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48299.0
Subtract 0 from 730 to get 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 872 fits into 7300 8 times, leaving a remainder of 324.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48299.08
If we subtract 6976 from 7300, we get 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 3240 by 872, we get 3 with a remainder of 624.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48299.083
Deduct 2616 from 3240 and we're left with 624.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
872 goes into 6240 7 times with a remainder of 136.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 48299.0837
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 6104 from 6240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 1360 by 872, we get 1 and a remainder of 488.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48299.08371
If we subtract 872 from 1360, we get 488.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
4880 divided by 872 is 5 with a remainder of 520.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48299.083715
Subtract 4360 from 4880 to get 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
872 can be fit into 5200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 840.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48299.0837155
If we subtract 4360 from 5200, we get 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 48299.0837155 with a balance of 8.4e-06.
