We divide 40683979 by 179
Our goal is to divide 40683979 by 179.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 179, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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 / 179

On to step 2:
179 goes into 40 0 times with 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.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 406 / 179

Let's proceed to step 3:
179 can be fit into 406 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 358 from 406.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 488 / 179

Let's proceed to step 4:
179 can be fit into 488 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 130.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 358 from 488 and we're left with 130.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 130 and continue with: 1303 / 179

Step 5:
179 goes into 1303 7 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 227.0
If we subtract 1253 from 1303, we get 50.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 509 / 179

Moving on to step 6:
179 goes into 509 2 times with a remainder of 151.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2272.0
If we take 358 away from 509, we end up with 151.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 151, then repeat: 1517 / 179

Let's proceed to step 7:
179 goes into 1517 8 times with a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22728.0
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 1432 from 1517.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 85, then carry on: 859 / 179

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 859 by 179, we get 4 and a remainder of 143.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 227284.0
Deduct 716 from 859 and we're left with 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
1430 divided by 179 is 7 with a remainder of 177.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 227284.7
The remainder is 177 after subtracting 1253 from 1430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1770, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
1770 divided by 179 is 9 with a remainder of 159.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 227284.79
If we subtract 1611 from 1770, we get 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1590 by 179, we get 8 and a remainder of 158.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 227284.798
If we subtract 1432 from 1590, we get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 1580 by 179, we get 8 with a remainder of 148.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 227284.7988
Subtract 1432 from 1580 to get 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

The final result is 227284.7988 with a remainder of 0.00148.
