We divide 40685406 by 238
We want to divide 40685406 by 238.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 238 fits into 4 0 times, leaving 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.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 238

Step 2:
238 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 406 / 238

Step 3:
When dividing 406 by 238, we get 1 with a remainder of 168.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 238 from 406 and we're left with 168.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 168 and continue: 1688 / 238

Step 4:
238 can be fit into 1688 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 1666 from 1688 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 225 / 238

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 225 by 238, we get 0 and a remainder of 225.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 170.0
If we subtract 0 from 225, we get 225.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 225, then repeat: 2254 / 238

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 2254 by 238, we get 9 and a remainder of 112.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1709.0
Subtract 2142 from 2254 to get 112.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 112, then carry on: 1120 / 238

On to step 7:
238 goes into 1120 4 times with a remainder of 168.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17094.0
If we take 952 away from 1120, we end up with 168.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 168, then repeat: 1686 / 238

On to step 8:
When dividing 1686 by 238, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 170947.0
If we take 1666 away from 1686, we end up with 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 9:
200 divided by 238 is 0 with a remainder of 200.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 170947.0
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.

Moving on to step 10:
2000 divided by 238 is 8 with a remainder of 96.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 170947.08
Subtracting 1904 from 2000 leaves us with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
960 divided by 238 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 170947.084
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 952 from 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 238, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 170947.084
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 800 by 238, we get 3 with a remainder of 86.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 170947.08403
If we subtract 714 from 800, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
238 can be fit into 860 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 146.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 170947.084033
Subtract 714 from 860 to get 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 170947.084033 and a remainder of 1.46e-05.
