We're dividing 40945438 by 156 
Let's see how many times 156 fits into 40945438.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 156, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 156

Step 2:
If we divide 40 by 156, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 409 / 156

Advancing to step 3:
156 can be fit into 409 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 97.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 312 from 409 leaves us with 97.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 97, then repeat: 974 / 156

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 974 by 156, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 936 from 974 and we're left with 38.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 385 / 156

Let's proceed to step 5:
385 divided by 156 is 2 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 262.0
If we take 312 away from 385, we end up with 73.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 734 / 156

Moving on to step 6:
156 can be fit into 734 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 110.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2624.0
Subtract 624 from 734 to get 110.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 110, then repeat: 1103 / 156

On to step 7:
If we divide 1103 by 156, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26247.0
If we subtract 1092 from 1103, we get 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 156

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 118 by 156, we get 0 with a remainder of 118.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 262470.0
Subtract 0 from 118 to get 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
156 goes into 1180 7 times with a remainder of 88.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 262470.7
Deduct 1092 from 1180 and we're left with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 156 fits into 880 5 times, leaving a remainder of 100.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 262470.75
If we subtract 780 from 880, we get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
1000 divided by 156 is 6 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 262470.756
Subtracting 936 from 1000 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 640 by 156, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 262470.7564
Deduct 624 from 640 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 160 by 156, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 262470.75641
Subtracting 156 from 160 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.

Step 14:
40 divided by 156 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 262470.75641
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:
If we divide 400 by 156, we get 2 and a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 262470.7564102
Subtracting 312 from 400 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 880 by 156, we get 5 with a remainder of 100.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 262470.75641025
Deduct 780 from 880 and we're left with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Our division results in 262470.75641025 with a remaining 1e-07.
