We look at the division of 40842696 by 654 
We're looking to find how many times 654 goes into 40842696.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 654, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 654

Going ahead to step 2:
40 divided by 654 is 0 with 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 (8) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 408 / 654

Step 3:
654 can be fit into 408 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 408.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 408 after subtracting 0 from 408.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 408, then carry on: 4084 / 654

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 4084 by 654, we get 6 with a remainder of 160.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 3924 from 4084 leaves us with 160.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 160, then carry on: 1602 / 654

Step 5:
654 goes into 1602 2 times with a remainder of 294.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 1308 from 1602 and we're left with 294.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 294, then carry on: 2946 / 654

Step 6:
2946 divided by 654 is 4 with a remainder of 330.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 624.0
Subtract 2616 from 2946 to get 330.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 330 and repeat the process: 3309 / 654

Advancing to step 7:
654 can be fit into 3309 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6245.0
Deduct 3270 from 3309 and we're left with 39.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 396 / 654

Moving on to step 8:
654 can be fit into 396 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 396.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62450.0
If we subtract 0 from 396, we get 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 654 fits into 3960 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 62450.6
Deduct 3924 from 3960 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
654 goes into 360 0 times with a remainder of 360.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 62450.6
Subtract 0 from 360 to get 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
654 can be fit into 3600 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 330.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 62450.605
Deduct 3270 from 3600 and we're left with 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
654 can be fit into 3300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62450.6055
If we take 3270 away from 3300, 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.

The quotient of the division is 62450.6055, and the remainder is 0.0003.
