We look at the division of 40004884 by 144 
Our goal is to divide 40004884 by 144.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 144 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 144

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 144, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 400 / 144

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 400 by 144, we get 2 with a remainder of 112.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 288 from 400 leaves us with 112.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 112 and continue with: 1120 / 144

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 144 fits into 1120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 1008 away from 1120, we end up with 112.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 112, then repeat: 1124 / 144

Going ahead to step 5:
1124 divided by 144 is 7 with a remainder of 116.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 277.0
If we take 1008 away from 1124, we end up with 116.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 116 and continue with: 1168 / 144

Going ahead to step 6:
144 can be fit into 1168 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2778.0
Deduct 1152 from 1168 and we're left with 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 144

Step 7:
The number 144 fits into 168 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27781.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 144 from 168.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 144

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 244 by 144, we get 1 with a remainder of 100.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 277811.0
If we take 144 away from 244, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 1000 by 144, we get 6 with a remainder of 136.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 277811.6
Subtracting 864 from 1000 leaves us with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
144 goes into 1360 9 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 277811.69
Subtract 1296 from 1360 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 144 fits into 640 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 277811.694
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 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 144, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 277811.6944
Subtracting 576 from 640 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.

Our division results in 277811.6944 with a remaining 0.00064.
