We divide 40527 by 85
Our goal is to divide 40527 by 85.

Moving on to step 1:
85 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 85

Step 2:
85 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 405 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 405 by 85, we get 4 and a remainder of 65.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 340 from 405 leaves us with 65.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 652 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 652 7 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 595 from 652 to get 57.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 577 / 85

On to step 5:
If we divide 577 by 85, we get 6 and a remainder of 67.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 476.0
Deduct 510 from 577 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
670 divided by 85 is 7 with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 476.7
If we take 595 away from 670, we end up with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 476.78
If we subtract 680 from 750, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 476.788
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 476.788 with a remaining 0.002.
