Let's divide 40608717 by 701
We want to divide 40608717 by 701.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 701, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 701

Moving on to step 2:
701 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 406 / 701

Advancing to step 3:
701 goes into 406 0 times with a remainder of 406.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 406 and we're left with 406.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 406 and continue with: 4060 / 701

Moving on to step 4:
701 goes into 4060 5 times with a remainder of 555.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 3505 from 4060 and we're left with 555.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 555 and repeat the process: 5558 / 701

On to step 5:
When dividing 5558 by 701, we get 7 with a remainder of 651.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 651 after subtracting 4907 from 5558.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 651 and continue: 6517 / 701

Going ahead to step 6:
701 can be fit into 6517 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 208.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 579.0
Deduct 6309 from 6517 and we're left with 208.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 208 and continue: 2081 / 701

Advancing to step 7:
701 goes into 2081 2 times with a remainder of 679.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5792.0
Subtract 1402 from 2081 to get 679.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 679 and continue: 6797 / 701

On to step 8:
701 can be fit into 6797 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 488.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57929.0
The remainder is 488 after subtracting 6309 from 6797.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

Step 9:
701 can be fit into 4880 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 674.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57929.6
If we subtract 4206 from 4880, we get 674.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6740, and continue the process.

Step 10:
701 goes into 6740 9 times with a remainder of 431.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57929.69
Subtracting 6309 from 6740 leaves us with 431.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
4310 divided by 701 is 6 with a remainder of 104.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57929.696
Deduct 4206 from 4310 and we're left with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Step 12:
701 can be fit into 1040 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 339.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57929.6961
Deduct 701 from 1040 and we're left with 339.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 3390 by 701, we get 4 with a remainder of 586.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57929.69614
Subtracting 2804 from 3390 leaves us with 586.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 5860 by 701, we get 8 and a remainder of 252.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 57929.696148
Deduct 5608 from 5860 and we're left with 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 2520 by 701, we get 3 and a remainder of 417.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57929.6961483
If we take 2103 away from 2520, we end up with 417.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 4170 by 701, we get 5 with a remainder of 665.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57929.69614835
Subtracting 3505 from 4170 leaves us with 665.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6650, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 57929.69614835, and the remainder is 6.65e-07.
