40542299 divided by 845 
Our goal is to divide 40542299 by 845.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 845, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 845

Moving on to step 2:
40 divided by 845 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 405 / 845

On to step 3:
The number 845 fits into 405 0 times, leaving a remainder of 405.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 405, we end up with 405.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 405 and repeat the process: 4054 / 845

Step 4:
If we divide 4054 by 845, we get 4 and a remainder of 674.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 3380 from 4054 leaves us with 674.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 674 and continue with: 6742 / 845

Moving on to step 5:
The number 845 fits into 6742 7 times, leaving a remainder of 827.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 5915 from 6742 and we're left with 827.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 827 and repeat the process: 8272 / 845

Let's proceed to step 6:
845 goes into 8272 9 times with a remainder of 667.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 479.0
If we subtract 7605 from 8272, we get 667.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 667, then repeat: 6679 / 845

Going ahead to step 7:
845 can be fit into 6679 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 764.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4797.0
If we subtract 5915 from 6679, we get 764.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 764 and repeat the process: 7649 / 845

Step 8:
The number 845 fits into 7649 9 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47979.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 7605 from 7649.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
845 can be fit into 440 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 440.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47979.0
If we take 0 away from 440, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
845 can be fit into 4400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 175.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47979.05
Subtracting 4225 from 4400 leaves us with 175.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
845 can be fit into 1750 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 47979.052
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 1690 from 1750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
600 divided by 845 is 0 with a remainder of 600.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47979.052
If we take 0 away from 600, we end up with 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 6000 by 845, we get 7 with a remainder of 85.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47979.05207
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 5915 from 6000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
845 can be fit into 850 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47979.052071
Subtract 845 from 850 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
50 divided by 845 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47979.052071
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 845 fits into 500 0 times, leaving a remainder of 500.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47979.052071
The remainder is 500 after subtracting 0 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

Our division results in 47979.052071 with a remaining 5e-07.
