We're dividing 40991 by 14 
We want to divide 40991 by 14.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 14, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 14

On to step 2:
14 goes into 40 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 28 from 40 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 14

Step 3:
14 can be fit into 129 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 126 from 129.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 14

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 39 by 14, we get 2 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 292.0
Subtract 28 from 39 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 111 / 14

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 14 fits into 111 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2927.0
Deduct 98 from 111 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
14 goes into 130 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2927.9
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 126 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
40 divided by 14 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2927.92
If we subtract 28 from 40, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 14, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2927.928
Deduct 112 from 120 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 14 fits into 80 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2927.9285
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 70 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 14 fits into 100 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2927.92857
Deduct 98 from 100 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 20 by 14, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2927.928571
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 14 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 14 fits into 60 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2927.9285714
Subtracting 56 from 60 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
14 goes into 40 2 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2927.92857142
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 28 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2927.92857142, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
