We're dividing 40586721 by 461 
We want to figure out the number of times 40586721 can be divided by 461.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 461, we get 0 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.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 461

Moving on to step 2:
461 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 405 / 461

Step 3:
The number 461 fits into 405 0 times, leaving a remainder of 405.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 405 leaves us with 405.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 405, then repeat: 4058 / 461

Advancing to step 4:
461 can be fit into 4058 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 370.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 3688 from 4058, we get 370.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 370, then repeat: 3706 / 461

Step 5:
461 goes into 3706 8 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtracting 3688 from 3706 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 461

Step 6:
187 divided by 461 is 0 with a remainder of 187.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 880.0
If we take 0 away from 187, we end up with 187.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 187, then carry on: 1872 / 461

Let's proceed to step 7:
461 can be fit into 1872 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8804.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 1844 from 1872.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 461

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 281 by 461, we get 0 and a remainder of 281.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88040.0
Subtracting 0 from 281 leaves us with 281.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
461 goes into 2810 6 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 88040.6
If we take 2766 away from 2810, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 440 by 461, we get 0 and a remainder of 440.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88040.6
Subtracting 0 from 440 leaves us with 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 461 fits into 4400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 251.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88040.609
If we subtract 4149 from 4400, we get 251.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2510, and continue the process.

Step 12:
461 goes into 2510 5 times with a remainder of 205.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 88040.6095
Subtract 2305 from 2510 to get 205.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2050, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 461 fits into 2050 4 times, leaving a remainder of 206.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88040.60954
Subtract 1844 from 2050 to get 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
461 goes into 2060 4 times with a remainder of 216.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88040.609544
If we subtract 1844 from 2060, we get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 88040.609544, and the remainder is 2.16e-05.
