Let's divide 40887954 by 473
Let's see how many times 473 fits into 40887954.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 473 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 473

Moving on to step 2:
40 divided by 473 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 473

On to step 3:
When dividing 408 by 473, we get 0 with a remainder of 408.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 408 after subtracting 0 from 408.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 408, then repeat: 4088 / 473

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 4088 by 473, we get 8 and a remainder of 304.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 3784 from 4088 to get 304.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 304 and continue: 3047 / 473

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 3047 by 473, we get 6 with a remainder of 209.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we subtract 2838 from 3047, we get 209.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 209, then repeat: 2099 / 473

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 473 fits into 2099 4 times, leaving a remainder of 207.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 864.0
If we subtract 1892 from 2099, we get 207.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 207, then carry on: 2075 / 473

Step 7:
The number 473 fits into 2075 4 times, leaving a remainder of 183.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8644.0
Deduct 1892 from 2075 and we're left with 183.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 183, then carry on: 1834 / 473

Step 8:
1834 divided by 473 is 3 with a remainder of 415.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86443.0
Subtracting 1419 from 1834 leaves us with 415.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 4150 by 473, we get 8 with a remainder of 366.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 86443.8
Deduct 3784 from 4150 and we're left with 366.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
473 can be fit into 3660 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 349.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 86443.87
Deduct 3311 from 3660 and we're left with 349.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
3490 divided by 473 is 7 with a remainder of 179.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86443.877
If we subtract 3311 from 3490, we get 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1790, and continue the process.

The final result is 86443.877 with a remainder of 0.0179.
