We look at the division of 40693323 by 974 
Our goal is to divide 40693323 by 974.

Advancing to step 1:
974 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 974

On to step 2:
40 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 406 / 974

On to step 3:
406 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 406.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 406, we end up with 406.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 406 and continue with: 4069 / 974

Step 4:
4069 divided by 974 is 4 with a remainder of 173.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3896 from 4069 and we're left with 173.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 173 and continue with: 1733 / 974

Going ahead to step 5:
974 goes into 1733 1 times with a remainder of 759.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41.0
The remainder is 759 after subtracting 974 from 1733.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 759, then repeat: 7593 / 974

On to step 6:
974 goes into 7593 7 times with a remainder of 775.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 417.0
Subtracting 6818 from 7593 leaves us with 775.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 775 and repeat the process: 7752 / 974

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 7752 by 974, we get 7 and a remainder of 934.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4177.0
The remainder is 934 after subtracting 6818 from 7752.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 934, then repeat: 9343 / 974

Let's proceed to step 8:
974 can be fit into 9343 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 577.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41779.0
If we take 8766 away from 9343, we end up with 577.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
974 goes into 5770 5 times with a remainder of 900.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41779.5
Deduct 4870 from 5770 and we're left with 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 974 fits into 9000 9 times, leaving a remainder of 234.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41779.59
The remainder is 234 after subtracting 8766 from 9000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Step 11:
2340 divided by 974 is 2 with a remainder of 392.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41779.592
Subtracting 1948 from 2340 leaves us with 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
974 goes into 3920 4 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 41779.5924
If we subtract 3896 from 3920, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
240 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 240.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41779.5924
If we subtract 0 from 240, we get 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
2400 divided by 974 is 2 with a remainder of 452.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41779.592402
Deduct 1948 from 2400 and we're left with 452.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 4520 by 974, we get 4 with a remainder of 624.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41779.5924024
If we take 3896 away from 4520, we end up with 624.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
974 goes into 6240 6 times with a remainder of 396.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41779.59240246
Subtracting 5844 from 6240 leaves us with 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

The final result is 41779.59240246 with a remainder of 3.96e-07.
