We look at the division of 40408758 by 981 
We want to divide 40408758 by 981.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 981, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 981

On to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 981, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 404 / 981

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 404 by 981, we get 0 with a remainder of 404.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 404 leaves us with 404.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 404, then repeat: 4040 / 981

Step 4:
981 can be fit into 4040 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 116.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 3924 from 4040 leaves us with 116.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 116, then repeat: 1168 / 981

On to step 5:
981 can be fit into 1168 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 187.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 981 from 1168 to get 187.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 187 and continue: 1877 / 981

Going ahead to step 6:
981 goes into 1877 1 times with a remainder of 896.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 411.0
Subtract 981 from 1877 to get 896.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 896 and continue with: 8965 / 981

On to step 7:
8965 divided by 981 is 9 with a remainder of 136.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4119.0
If we take 8829 away from 8965, we end up with 136.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 136 and continue with: 1368 / 981

Step 8:
1368 divided by 981 is 1 with a remainder of 387.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 41191.0
Subtracting 981 from 1368 leaves us with 387.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3870, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 3870 by 981, we get 3 and a remainder of 927.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 41191.3
The remainder is 927 after subtracting 2943 from 3870.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
981 can be fit into 9270 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 441.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41191.39
If we subtract 8829 from 9270, we get 441.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4410, and continue the process.

Step 11:
4410 divided by 981 is 4 with a remainder of 486.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41191.394
Subtract 3924 from 4410 to get 486.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4860, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 4860 by 981, we get 4 and a remainder of 936.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41191.3944
Deduct 3924 from 4860 and we're left with 936.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 41191.3944 and a remainder of 0.00936.
