We look at the division of 40960598 by 659 
We're looking to find how many times 659 goes into 40960598.

Let's proceed to step 1:
659 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 659

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 659, 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.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 409 / 659

Step 3:
659 goes into 409 0 times with a remainder of 409.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 409 and we're left with 409.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 409 and continue: 4096 / 659

Let's proceed to step 4:
659 goes into 4096 6 times with a remainder of 142.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 3954 away from 4096, we end up with 142.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 142 and continue: 1420 / 659

Going ahead to step 5:
659 can be fit into 1420 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 102.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtract 1318 from 1420 to get 102.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 102, then carry on: 1025 / 659

Step 6:
The number 659 fits into 1025 1 times, leaving a remainder of 366.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 621.0
If we take 659 away from 1025, we end up with 366.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 366 and continue: 3669 / 659

Moving on to step 7:
659 can be fit into 3669 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 374.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6215.0
If we take 3295 away from 3669, we end up with 374.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 374, then repeat: 3748 / 659

Step 8:
3748 divided by 659 is 5 with a remainder of 453.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62155.0
Subtract 3295 from 3748 to get 453.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
659 can be fit into 4530 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 576.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62155.6
Subtract 3954 from 4530 to get 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 5760 by 659, we get 8 and a remainder of 488.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62155.68
Subtract 5272 from 5760 to get 488.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
659 goes into 4880 7 times with a remainder of 267.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62155.687
The remainder is 267 after subtracting 4613 from 4880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2670, and continue the process.

Step 12:
659 goes into 2670 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62155.6874
Deduct 2636 from 2670 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 340 by 659, we get 0 with a remainder of 340.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62155.6874
If we subtract 0 from 340, we get 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
659 can be fit into 3400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 105.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62155.687405
If we take 3295 away from 3400, we end up with 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 659 fits into 1050 1 times, leaving a remainder of 391.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62155.6874051
The remainder is 391 after subtracting 659 from 1050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3910, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
659 goes into 3910 5 times with a remainder of 615.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 62155.68740515
Subtract 3295 from 3910 to get 615.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6150, and continue the process.

Our division results in 62155.68740515 with a remaining 6.15e-07.
