40848903 ÷ 259 
We want to divide 40848903 by 259.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 259, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 259

On to step 2:
The number 259 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 259

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 259 fits into 408 1 times, leaving a remainder of 149.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 259 from 408 leaves us with 149.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 149, then carry on: 1494 / 259

On to step 4:
If we divide 1494 by 259, we get 5 and a remainder of 199.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 1295 from 1494, we get 199.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 199 and continue with: 1998 / 259

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1998 by 259, we get 7 with a remainder of 185.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 157.0
Subtracting 1813 from 1998 leaves us with 185.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 185 and repeat the process: 1859 / 259

Going ahead to step 6:
259 goes into 1859 7 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1577.0
If we take 1813 away from 1859, we end up with 46.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 460 / 259

Step 7:
When dividing 460 by 259, we get 1 with a remainder of 201.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15771.0
The remainder is 201 after subtracting 259 from 460.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 201 and repeat the process: 2013 / 259

Step 8:
259 can be fit into 2013 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 200.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157717.0
Subtracting 1813 from 2013 leaves us with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
259 can be fit into 2000 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 187.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 157717.7
The remainder is 187 after subtracting 1813 from 2000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1870, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 259 fits into 1870 7 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157717.77
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 1813 from 1870.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 157717.77 and a remainder of 0.057.
