We divide 40289444 by 731
Our goal is to divide 40289444 by 731.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 731

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 402 / 731

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 402 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 402.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 402 to get 402.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 402, then repeat: 4028 / 731

On to step 4:
731 goes into 4028 5 times with a remainder of 373.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 3655 from 4028 and we're left with 373.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 373, then repeat: 3739 / 731

Moving on to step 5:
The number 731 fits into 3739 5 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 3655 away from 3739, we end up with 84.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 844 / 731

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 844 by 731, we get 1 and a remainder of 113.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 551.0
The remainder is 113 after subtracting 731 from 844.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 113 and continue: 1134 / 731

Moving on to step 7:
731 can be fit into 1134 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 403.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5511.0
Subtracting 731 from 1134 leaves us with 403.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 403, then repeat: 4034 / 731

On to step 8:
When dividing 4034 by 731, we get 5 with a remainder of 379.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55115.0
Subtract 3655 from 4034 to get 379.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 731 fits into 3790 5 times, leaving a remainder of 135.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55115.5
If we subtract 3655 from 3790, we get 135.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 731 fits into 1350 1 times, leaving a remainder of 619.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55115.51
Deduct 731 from 1350 and we're left with 619.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6190, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 6190 by 731, we get 8 and a remainder of 342.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55115.518
Subtracting 5848 from 6190 leaves us with 342.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3420, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
3420 divided by 731 is 4 with a remainder of 496.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55115.5184
Deduct 2924 from 3420 and we're left with 496.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
731 goes into 4960 6 times with a remainder of 574.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55115.51846
Deduct 4386 from 4960 and we're left with 574.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
731 goes into 5740 7 times with a remainder of 623.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55115.518467
If we subtract 5117 from 5740, we get 623.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
731 goes into 6230 8 times with a remainder of 382.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55115.5184678
If we subtract 5848 from 6230, we get 382.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
731 goes into 3820 5 times with a remainder of 165.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55115.51846785
Deduct 3655 from 3820 and we're left with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Our division results in 55115.51846785 with a remaining 1.65e-07.
