We're dividing 40839715 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 40839715.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
40 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 408 / 74

Step 3:
408 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 370 from 408 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 383 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 can be fit into 383 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 370 from 383, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 139 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 551.0
If we take 74 away from 139, we end up with 65.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 65, then repeat: 657 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 657 8 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5518.0
Subtract 592 from 657 to get 65.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 651 / 74

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 651 8 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55188.0
Deduct 592 from 651 and we're left with 59.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 595 / 74

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 595 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 3.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 551888.0
Subtracting 592 from 595 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
74 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 551888.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 551888.04
If we take 296 away from 300, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
74 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: 551888.04
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 400 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 551888.0405
Subtracting 370 from 400 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 551888.04054
Deduct 296 from 300 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 40 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 551888.04054
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
74 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 551888.0405405
If we subtract 370 from 400, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 74 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 551888.04054054
Subtracting 296 from 300 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 551888.04054054 with a remaining 4e-09.
