Let's divide 40478187 by 848
We want to figure out the number of times 40478187 can be divided by 848.

On to step 1:
848 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 848

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 848, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 404 / 848

Going ahead to step 3:
848 can be fit into 404 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 404.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 404 to get 404.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 404 and continue: 4047 / 848

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 848 fits into 4047 4 times, leaving a remainder of 655.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 655 after subtracting 3392 from 4047.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 655, then repeat: 6558 / 848

Going ahead to step 5:
848 can be fit into 6558 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 622.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 5936 away from 6558, we end up with 622.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 622, then carry on: 6221 / 848

Moving on to step 6:
6221 divided by 848 is 7 with a remainder of 285.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 477.0
The remainder is 285 after subtracting 5936 from 6221.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 285, then repeat: 2858 / 848

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 2858 by 848, we get 3 with a remainder of 314.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4773.0
If we subtract 2544 from 2858, we get 314.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 314, then repeat: 3147 / 848

Advancing to step 8:
848 goes into 3147 3 times with a remainder of 603.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47733.0
Subtracting 2544 from 3147 leaves us with 603.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6030, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 6030 by 848, we get 7 and a remainder of 94.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47733.7
If we take 5936 away from 6030, we end up with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 940 by 848, we get 1 with a remainder of 92.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47733.71
If we take 848 away from 940, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 848 fits into 920 1 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47733.711
Subtracting 848 from 920 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 47733.711, and the remainder is 0.0072.
