40426955 ÷ 255 
We want to figure out the number of times 40426955 can be divided by 255.

Let's proceed to step 1:
255 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 255

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 255 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 404 / 255

Let's proceed to step 3:
404 divided by 255 is 1 with a remainder of 149.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 255 from 404 leaves us with 149.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 149, then repeat: 1492 / 255

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 1492 by 255, we get 5 and a remainder of 217.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 1275 from 1492 to get 217.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 217, then repeat: 2176 / 255

Step 5:
The number 255 fits into 2176 8 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 158.0
Subtracting 2040 from 2176 leaves us with 136.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 136, then repeat: 1369 / 255

On to step 6:
If we divide 1369 by 255, we get 5 and a remainder of 94.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1585.0
Deduct 1275 from 1369 and we're left with 94.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 94, then repeat: 945 / 255

Let's proceed to step 7:
255 goes into 945 3 times with a remainder of 180.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15853.0
Deduct 765 from 945 and we're left with 180.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 180 and continue with: 1805 / 255

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 1805 by 255, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 158537.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 1785 from 1805.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
200 divided by 255 is 0 with a remainder of 200.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 158537.0
The remainder is 200 after subtracting 0 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
255 can be fit into 2000 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 215.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 158537.07
Subtract 1785 from 2000 to get 215.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 255 fits into 2150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 110.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 158537.078
Subtracting 2040 from 2150 leaves us with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 1100 by 255, we get 4 and a remainder of 80.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 158537.0784
If we take 1020 away from 1100, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 800 by 255, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 158537.07843
Subtracting 765 from 800 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
350 divided by 255 is 1 with a remainder of 95.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 158537.078431
If we subtract 255 from 350, we get 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 950 by 255, we get 3 with a remainder of 185.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 158537.0784313
Subtract 765 from 950 to get 185.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
1850 divided by 255 is 7 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 158537.07843137
Subtracting 1785 from 1850 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 158537.07843137 with a balance of 6.5e-08.
