We look at the division of 40966491 by 131 
We're looking to find how many times 131 goes into 40966491.

Step 1:
The number 131 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 131

Advancing to step 2:
40 divided by 131 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 409 / 131

Let's proceed to step 3:
131 goes into 409 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 393 from 409 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 131

Going ahead to step 4:
131 goes into 166 1 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 131 from 166 leaves us with 35.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 356 / 131

Let's proceed to step 5:
356 divided by 131 is 2 with a remainder of 94.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 312.0
The remainder is 94 after subtracting 262 from 356.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 94 and repeat the process: 944 / 131

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 131 fits into 944 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3127.0
If we subtract 917 from 944, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 131

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 279 by 131, we get 2 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31272.0
If we subtract 262 from 279, we get 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 131

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 171 by 131, we get 1 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 312721.0
If we subtract 131 from 171, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
131 can be fit into 400 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 312721.3
If we subtract 393 from 400, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 131 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 312721.3
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
131 can be fit into 700 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 312721.305
If we subtract 655 from 700, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 131 fits into 450 3 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 312721.3053
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 393 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 570 by 131, we get 4 with a remainder of 46.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 312721.30534
Subtract 524 from 570 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 131 fits into 460 3 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 312721.305343
Subtract 393 from 460 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
131 can be fit into 670 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 312721.3053435
If we subtract 655 from 670, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
If we divide 150 by 131, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 312721.30534351
If we subtract 131 from 150, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 312721.30534351 and a remainder of 1.9e-08.
