We divide 40712516 by 975
Let's see how many times 975 fits into 40712516.

On to step 1:
975 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 975

Advancing to step 2:
975 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 407 / 975

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 407 by 975, we get 0 and a remainder of 407.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 407, we get 407.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 407, then repeat: 4071 / 975

Step 4:
When dividing 4071 by 975, we get 4 with a remainder of 171.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3900 from 4071 to get 171.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 171, then carry on: 1712 / 975

Step 5:
When dividing 1712 by 975, we get 1 with a remainder of 737.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 975 from 1712 to get 737.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 737 and continue with: 7375 / 975

On to step 6:
The number 975 fits into 7375 7 times, leaving a remainder of 550.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 417.0
Deduct 6825 from 7375 and we're left with 550.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 550, then repeat: 5501 / 975

Step 7:
975 goes into 5501 5 times with a remainder of 626.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4175.0
If we subtract 4875 from 5501, we get 626.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 626 and repeat the process: 6266 / 975

On to step 8:
975 goes into 6266 6 times with a remainder of 416.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41756.0
Subtract 5850 from 6266 to get 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 4160 by 975, we get 4 and a remainder of 260.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 41756.4
If we subtract 3900 from 4160, we get 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
2600 divided by 975 is 2 with a remainder of 650.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41756.42
The remainder is 650 after subtracting 1950 from 2600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
975 goes into 6500 6 times with a remainder of 650.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 41756.426
If we take 5850 away from 6500, we end up with 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
6500 divided by 975 is 6 with a remainder of 650.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41756.4266
Subtract 5850 from 6500 to get 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6500, and continue the process.

The final result is 41756.4266 with a remainder of 0.0065.
