Let's divide 40874700 by 421
Let's see how many times 421 fits into 40874700.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 421 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 421

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 421, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 408 / 421

Advancing to step 3:
421 can be fit into 408 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 408.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 408 and we're left with 408.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 408 and continue: 4087 / 421

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 4087 by 421, we get 9 and a remainder of 298.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 3789 from 4087 to get 298.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 298, then repeat: 2984 / 421

Going ahead to step 5:
421 goes into 2984 7 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 97.0
If we subtract 2947 from 2984, we get 37.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 377 / 421

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 377 by 421, we get 0 with a remainder of 377.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 970.0
If we take 0 away from 377, we end up with 377.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 377 and repeat the process: 3770 / 421

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 3770 by 421, we get 8 with a remainder of 402.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9708.0
Subtract 3368 from 3770 to get 402.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 402 and continue with: 4020 / 421

Going ahead to step 8:
421 goes into 4020 9 times with a remainder of 231.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97089.0
If we subtract 3789 from 4020, we get 231.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2310, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 2310 by 421, we get 5 with a remainder of 205.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97089.5
Subtracting 2105 from 2310 leaves us with 205.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2050, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 421 fits into 2050 4 times, leaving a remainder of 366.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 97089.54
The remainder is 366 after subtracting 1684 from 2050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 421 fits into 3660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 292.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 97089.548
Deduct 3368 from 3660 and we're left with 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 2920 by 421, we get 6 with a remainder of 394.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97089.5486
Deduct 2526 from 2920 and we're left with 394.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3940, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
421 goes into 3940 9 times with a remainder of 151.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97089.54869
If we subtract 3789 from 3940, we get 151.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 1510 by 421, we get 3 with a remainder of 247.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97089.548693
The remainder is 247 after subtracting 1263 from 1510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
421 goes into 2470 5 times with a remainder of 365.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 97089.5486935
If we subtract 2105 from 2470, we get 365.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
3650 divided by 421 is 8 with a remainder of 282.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97089.54869358
The remainder is 282 after subtracting 3368 from 3650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 97089.54869358, and the remainder is 2.82e-07.
