We divide 40632978 by 879
We're looking to find how many times 879 goes into 40632978.

Let's proceed to step 1:
879 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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 / 879

Let's proceed to step 2:
879 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 406 / 879

Moving on to step 3:
The number 879 fits into 406 0 times, leaving a remainder of 406.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 406, we end up with 406.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 406, then carry on: 4063 / 879

Let's proceed to step 4:
879 can be fit into 4063 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 547.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 3516 away from 4063, we end up with 547.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 547 and repeat the process: 5472 / 879

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 5472 by 879, we get 6 with a remainder of 198.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 5274 from 5472 leaves us with 198.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 198 and continue with: 1989 / 879

On to step 6:
If we divide 1989 by 879, we get 2 and a remainder of 231.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 462.0
Deduct 1758 from 1989 and we're left with 231.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 231 and continue: 2317 / 879

On to step 7:
879 can be fit into 2317 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 559.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4622.0
Subtract 1758 from 2317 to get 559.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 559 and repeat the process: 5598 / 879

Going ahead to step 8:
5598 divided by 879 is 6 with a remainder of 324.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46226.0
The remainder is 324 after subtracting 5274 from 5598.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
879 can be fit into 3240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 603.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46226.3
Deduct 2637 from 3240 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
879 can be fit into 6030 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 756.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46226.36
Deduct 5274 from 6030 and we're left with 756.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 7560 by 879, we get 8 with a remainder of 528.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46226.368
Subtract 7032 from 7560 to get 528.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
879 goes into 5280 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46226.3686
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 5274 from 5280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 879 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46226.3686
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 600 by 879, we get 0 and a remainder of 600.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46226.3686
Subtracting 0 from 600 leaves us with 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6000, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 46226.3686 with a balance of 6e-05.
