40040272 ÷ 98 
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 40040272.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
40 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 400 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
98 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
98 can be fit into 84 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 84, we end up with 84.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 84 and continue with: 840 / 98

On to step 5:
98 can be fit into 840 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 408.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 784 from 840.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 562 / 98

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 98 fits into 562 5 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4085.0
Subtract 490 from 562 to get 72.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 727 / 98

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 727 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40857.0
Deduct 686 from 727 and we're left with 41.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 412 / 98

Moving on to step 8:
412 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 408574.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 392 from 412.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408574.2
If we take 196 away from 200, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
40 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408574.2
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
400 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 408574.204
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 408574.204
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 98 fits into 800 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 408574.20408
If we take 784 away from 800, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408574.204081
Deduct 98 from 160 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 98 fits into 620 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 408574.2040816
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 588 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 320 by 98, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408574.20408163
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 408574.20408163 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
