We divide 40756179 by 278
We're looking to find how many times 278 goes into 40756179.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 278, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 278

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 278, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 407 / 278

Step 3:
The number 278 fits into 407 1 times, leaving a remainder of 129.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 278 away from 407, we end up with 129.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 129 and repeat the process: 1295 / 278

On to step 4:
The number 278 fits into 1295 4 times, leaving a remainder of 183.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 1112 from 1295 to get 183.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 183, then carry on: 1836 / 278

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 1836 by 278, we get 6 with a remainder of 168.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 146.0
The remainder is 168 after subtracting 1668 from 1836.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 168 and continue: 1681 / 278

Advancing to step 6:
278 goes into 1681 6 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1466.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 1668 from 1681.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 137 / 278

Step 7:
The number 278 fits into 137 0 times, leaving a remainder of 137.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14660.0
The remainder is 137 after subtracting 0 from 137.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 137, then repeat: 1379 / 278

Step 8:
The number 278 fits into 1379 4 times, leaving a remainder of 267.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146604.0
Subtract 1112 from 1379 to get 267.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
278 can be fit into 2670 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 168.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146604.9
The remainder is 168 after subtracting 2502 from 2670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 1680 by 278, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 146604.96
Deduct 1668 from 1680 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 278, we get 0 with a remainder of 120.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146604.96
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 1200 by 278, we get 4 and a remainder of 88.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 146604.9604
If we take 1112 away from 1200, we end up with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
880 divided by 278 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146604.96043
Subtracting 834 from 880 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 460 by 278, we get 1 with a remainder of 182.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146604.960431
The remainder is 182 after subtracting 278 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
1820 divided by 278 is 6 with a remainder of 152.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 146604.9604316
Subtracting 1668 from 1820 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Step 16:
278 can be fit into 1520 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 130.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146604.96043165
Subtracting 1390 from 1520 leaves us with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 146604.96043165, with a leftover of 1.3e-07.
