40278842 ÷ 481 
We're looking to find how many times 481 goes into 40278842.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 481, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 481

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 481, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 402 / 481

Step 3:
When dividing 402 by 481, we get 0 with a remainder of 402.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 402 and we're left with 402.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 402, then repeat: 4027 / 481

Moving on to step 4:
The number 481 fits into 4027 8 times, leaving a remainder of 179.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 3848 from 4027 leaves us with 179.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 179 and continue with: 1798 / 481

Moving on to step 5:
481 can be fit into 1798 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 355.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
Subtract 1443 from 1798 to get 355.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 355 and repeat the process: 3558 / 481

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 3558 by 481, we get 7 and a remainder of 191.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 837.0
Deduct 3367 from 3558 and we're left with 191.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 191 and continue with: 1914 / 481

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 1914 by 481, we get 3 and a remainder of 471.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8373.0
Subtracting 1443 from 1914 leaves us with 471.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 471, then carry on: 4712 / 481

Let's proceed to step 8:
4712 divided by 481 is 9 with a remainder of 383.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 83739.0
If we subtract 4329 from 4712, we get 383.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3830, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 3830 by 481, we get 7 and a remainder of 463.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 83739.7
Subtracting 3367 from 3830 leaves us with 463.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4630, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 481 fits into 4630 9 times, leaving a remainder of 301.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 83739.79
Subtracting 4329 from 4630 leaves us with 301.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3010, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
481 can be fit into 3010 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 124.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 83739.796
If we subtract 2886 from 3010, we get 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1240 divided by 481 is 2 with a remainder of 278.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83739.7962
The remainder is 278 after subtracting 962 from 1240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 481 fits into 2780 5 times, leaving a remainder of 375.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 83739.79625
The remainder is 375 after subtracting 2405 from 2780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
481 goes into 3750 7 times with a remainder of 383.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 83739.796257
If we subtract 3367 from 3750, we get 383.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3830, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 3830 by 481, we get 7 with a remainder of 463.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 83739.7962577
If we subtract 3367 from 3830, we get 463.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4630, and continue the process.

The final result is 83739.7962577 with a remainder of 4.63e-06.
