40024979 divided by 724 
We want to divide 40024979 by 724.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 724, 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 / 724

Step 2:
40 divided by 724 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 400 / 724

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 400 by 724, we get 0 with a remainder of 400.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 400 leaves us with 400.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 400 and repeat the process: 4002 / 724

Moving on to step 4:
724 goes into 4002 5 times with a remainder of 382.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 3620 from 4002 to get 382.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 382 and continue: 3824 / 724

Advancing to step 5:
3824 divided by 724 is 5 with a remainder of 204.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 204 after subtracting 3620 from 3824.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 204, then repeat: 2049 / 724

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 2049 by 724, we get 2 with a remainder of 601.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 552.0
Subtracting 1448 from 2049 leaves us with 601.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 601, then carry on: 6017 / 724

Step 7:
724 goes into 6017 8 times with a remainder of 225.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5528.0
The remainder is 225 after subtracting 5792 from 6017.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 225, then repeat: 2259 / 724

Step 8:
2259 divided by 724 is 3 with a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55283.0
If we subtract 2172 from 2259, we get 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
724 goes into 870 1 times with a remainder of 146.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 55283.1
If we subtract 724 from 870, we get 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
1460 divided by 724 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55283.12
If we take 1448 away from 1460, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
724 can be fit into 120 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 120.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55283.12
Deduct 0 from 120 and we're left with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
1200 divided by 724 is 1 with a remainder of 476.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55283.1201
Subtracting 724 from 1200 leaves us with 476.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
724 goes into 4760 6 times with a remainder of 416.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55283.12016
The remainder is 416 after subtracting 4344 from 4760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 4160 by 724, we get 5 and a remainder of 540.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55283.120165
Deduct 3620 from 4160 and we're left with 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
724 goes into 5400 7 times with a remainder of 332.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55283.1201657
Deduct 5068 from 5400 and we're left with 332.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
724 goes into 3320 4 times with a remainder of 424.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 55283.12016574
The remainder is 424 after subtracting 2896 from 3320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 55283.12016574 and a remainder of 4.24e-07.
