We divide 40565866 by 85
We want to divide 40565866 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
40 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 405 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
85 goes into 405 4 times with a remainder of 65.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 340 from 405.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 656 / 85

Step 4:
The number 85 fits into 656 7 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 595 from 656.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 615 / 85

Step 5:
If we divide 615 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 477.0
If we take 595 away from 615, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 208 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 208 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4772.0
Deduct 170 from 208 and we're left with 38.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 386 / 85

On to step 7:
386 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47724.0
Subtracting 340 from 386 leaves us with 46.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 466 / 85

On to step 8:
If we divide 466 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 41.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 477245.0
Deduct 425 from 466 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
85 goes into 410 4 times with a remainder of 70.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 477245.4
Subtract 340 from 410 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 477245.48
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 680 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 85 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 477245.482
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 170 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 477245.4823
Subtracting 255 from 300 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
450 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 477245.48235
If we subtract 425 from 450, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 14:
85 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 477245.482352
Subtract 170 from 250 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
800 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 477245.4823529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 477245.48235294
Deduct 340 from 350 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 477245.48235294, and the remainder is 1e-08.
