We look at the division of 40715098 by 981 
We want to divide 40715098 by 981.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 981, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 981

Let's proceed to step 2:
981 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.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 407 / 981

On to step 3:
407 divided by 981 is 0 with a remainder of 407.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 407, we end up with 407.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 407 and repeat the process: 4071 / 981

On to step 4:
981 goes into 4071 4 times with a remainder of 147.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3924 from 4071 and we're left with 147.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 147 and repeat the process: 1475 / 981

Advancing to step 5:
981 can be fit into 1475 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 494.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 981 from 1475 to get 494.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 494, then repeat: 4940 / 981

Advancing to step 6:
4940 divided by 981 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 415.0
Subtracting 4905 from 4940 leaves us with 35.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 359 / 981

Advancing to step 7:
359 divided by 981 is 0 with a remainder of 359.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4150.0
The remainder is 359 after subtracting 0 from 359.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 359 and repeat the process: 3598 / 981

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 3598 by 981, we get 3 with a remainder of 655.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41503.0
If we subtract 2943 from 3598, we get 655.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6550, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
6550 divided by 981 is 6 with a remainder of 664.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41503.6
Subtracting 5886 from 6550 leaves us with 664.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
981 can be fit into 6640 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 754.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41503.66
If we take 5886 away from 6640, we end up with 754.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7540, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 41503.66 with a balance of 0.754.
