We're dividing 40026531 by 704 
We want to divide 40026531 by 704.

On to step 1:
704 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 704

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 704, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 400 / 704

Going ahead to step 3:
400 divided by 704 is 0 with a remainder of 400.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 400, we end up with 400.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 400 and repeat the process: 4002 / 704

On to step 4:
704 can be fit into 4002 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 482.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 3520 from 4002 leaves us with 482.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 482 and continue: 4826 / 704

Step 5:
If we divide 4826 by 704, we get 6 and a remainder of 602.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we take 4224 away from 4826, we end up with 602.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 602 and continue: 6025 / 704

On to step 6:
When dividing 6025 by 704, we get 8 with a remainder of 393.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 568.0
If we subtract 5632 from 6025, we get 393.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 393, then carry on: 3933 / 704

Let's proceed to step 7:
3933 divided by 704 is 5 with a remainder of 413.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5685.0
Deduct 3520 from 3933 and we're left with 413.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 413, then repeat: 4131 / 704

Step 8:
The number 704 fits into 4131 5 times, leaving a remainder of 611.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56855.0
If we subtract 3520 from 4131, we get 611.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 6110 by 704, we get 8 with a remainder of 478.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56855.8
Deduct 5632 from 6110 and we're left with 478.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
704 can be fit into 4780 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 556.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 56855.86
If we take 4224 away from 4780, we end up with 556.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 5560 by 704, we get 7 and a remainder of 632.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56855.867
Subtract 4928 from 5560 to get 632.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
704 can be fit into 6320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 688.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56855.8678
The remainder is 688 after subtracting 5632 from 6320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
704 goes into 6880 9 times with a remainder of 544.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56855.86789
If we take 6336 away from 6880, we end up with 544.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 5440 by 704, we get 7 and a remainder of 512.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 56855.867897
Subtracting 4928 from 5440 leaves us with 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 5120 by 704, we get 7 and a remainder of 192.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56855.8678977
If we subtract 4928 from 5120, we get 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 56855.8678977 with a balance of 1.92e-06.
