We look at the division of 40368542 by 471 
Our goal is to divide 40368542 by 471.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 471, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 471

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 471, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 403 / 471

Advancing to step 3:
The number 471 fits into 403 0 times, leaving a remainder of 403.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 403 after subtracting 0 from 403.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 403, then repeat: 4036 / 471

Let's proceed to step 4:
471 goes into 4036 8 times with a remainder of 268.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 3768 from 4036, we get 268.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 268, then repeat: 2688 / 471

Step 5:
The number 471 fits into 2688 5 times, leaving a remainder of 333.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85.0
The remainder is 333 after subtracting 2355 from 2688.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 333, then carry on: 3335 / 471

Advancing to step 6:
471 goes into 3335 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 857.0
Subtracting 3297 from 3335 leaves us with 38.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 384 / 471

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 471 fits into 384 0 times, leaving a remainder of 384.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8570.0
Deduct 0 from 384 and we're left with 384.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 384, then repeat: 3842 / 471

On to step 8:
If we divide 3842 by 471, we get 8 and a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 85708.0
Subtract 3768 from 3842 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
471 goes into 740 1 times with a remainder of 269.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85708.1
Subtracting 471 from 740 leaves us with 269.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2690, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 471 fits into 2690 5 times, leaving a remainder of 335.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85708.15
The remainder is 335 after subtracting 2355 from 2690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3350, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
471 can be fit into 3350 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85708.157
Subtract 3297 from 3350 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
530 divided by 471 is 1 with a remainder of 59.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85708.1571
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 471 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 590 by 471, we get 1 with a remainder of 119.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 85708.15711
Deduct 471 from 590 and we're left with 119.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1190, and continue the process.

The final result is 85708.15711 with a remainder of 0.000119.
