We divide 40408274 by 290
Our goal is to divide 40408274 by 290.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 290, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 290

On to step 2:
The number 290 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 404 / 290

Advancing to step 3:
290 goes into 404 1 times with a remainder of 114.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 290 from 404 to get 114.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 114 and continue with: 1140 / 290

Moving on to step 4:
The number 290 fits into 1140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 270.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 870 away from 1140, we end up with 270.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 270, then repeat: 2708 / 290

Advancing to step 5:
The number 290 fits into 2708 9 times, leaving a remainder of 98.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 139.0
If we subtract 2610 from 2708, we get 98.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 98 and repeat the process: 982 / 290

Let's proceed to step 6:
290 can be fit into 982 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 112.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1393.0
If we take 870 away from 982, we end up with 112.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 112 and repeat the process: 1127 / 290

Step 7:
When dividing 1127 by 290, we get 3 with a remainder of 257.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13933.0
Deduct 870 from 1127 and we're left with 257.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 257, then repeat: 2574 / 290

Step 8:
290 can be fit into 2574 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 254.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 139338.0
Subtracting 2320 from 2574 leaves us with 254.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
290 goes into 2540 8 times with a remainder of 220.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 139338.8
If we take 2320 away from 2540, we end up with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 2200 by 290, we get 7 with a remainder of 170.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 139338.87
Subtract 2030 from 2200 to get 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 1700 by 290, we get 5 with a remainder of 250.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 139338.875
Subtracting 1450 from 1700 leaves us with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Step 12:
290 goes into 2500 8 times with a remainder of 180.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139338.8758
If we take 2320 away from 2500, we end up with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 290 fits into 1800 6 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 139338.87586
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 1740 from 1800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
290 goes into 600 2 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139338.875862
If we subtract 580 from 600, we get 20.
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 15:
If we divide 200 by 290, we get 0 and a remainder of 200.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 139338.875862
Subtracting 0 from 200 leaves us with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 2000 by 290, we get 6 with a remainder of 260.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 139338.87586206
Subtracting 1740 from 2000 leaves us with 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Our division results in 139338.87586206 with a remaining 2.6e-07.
