40762741 ÷ 256 
We want to divide 40762741 by 256.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 256 is 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.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 256

Moving on to step 2:
256 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 407 / 256

Step 3:
The number 256 fits into 407 1 times, leaving a remainder of 151.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 256 from 407 leaves us with 151.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 151 and continue: 1516 / 256

Moving on to step 4:
256 can be fit into 1516 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 236.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 236 after subtracting 1280 from 1516.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 236 and continue: 2362 / 256

Going ahead to step 5:
256 goes into 2362 9 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159.0
Subtract 2304 from 2362 to get 58.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 587 / 256

Let's proceed to step 6:
256 can be fit into 587 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1592.0
Deduct 512 from 587 and we're left with 75.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 754 / 256

On to step 7:
256 goes into 754 2 times with a remainder of 242.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15922.0
Subtract 512 from 754 to get 242.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 242, then carry on: 2421 / 256

Step 8:
2421 divided by 256 is 9 with a remainder of 117.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159229.0
Deduct 2304 from 2421 and we're left with 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 1170 by 256, we get 4 and a remainder of 146.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159229.4
If we take 1024 away from 1170, we end up with 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 1460 by 256, we get 5 and a remainder of 180.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159229.45
If we take 1280 away from 1460, we end up with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
1800 divided by 256 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 159229.457
If we subtract 1792 from 1800, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
80 divided by 256 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159229.457
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 13:
256 can be fit into 800 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159229.45703
If we subtract 768 from 800, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 256 fits into 320 1 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159229.457031
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 256 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
256 can be fit into 640 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159229.4570312
Subtracting 512 from 640 leaves us with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 256 fits into 1280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 159229.45703125
If we subtract 1280 from 1280, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 159229.45703125, with a leftover of 0.0.
