We look at the division of 40875954 by 981 
We want to divide 40875954 by 981.

Let's proceed to step 1:
981 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 981

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 981, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 981

Step 3:
When dividing 408 by 981, we get 0 with a remainder of 408.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 408 leaves us with 408.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 408, then repeat: 4087 / 981

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 4087 by 981, we get 4 and a remainder of 163.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 3924 from 4087, we get 163.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 163, then repeat: 1635 / 981

Let's proceed to step 5:
981 goes into 1635 1 times with a remainder of 654.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we subtract 981 from 1635, we get 654.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 654, then carry on: 6549 / 981

On to step 6:
6549 divided by 981 is 6 with a remainder of 663.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 416.0
Subtract 5886 from 6549 to get 663.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 663, then repeat: 6635 / 981

On to step 7:
981 can be fit into 6635 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 749.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4166.0
The remainder is 749 after subtracting 5886 from 6635.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 749 and continue with: 7494 / 981

Going ahead to step 8:
7494 divided by 981 is 7 with a remainder of 627.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41667.0
The remainder is 627 after subtracting 6867 from 7494.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
6270 divided by 981 is 6 with a remainder of 384.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41667.6
If we take 5886 away from 6270, we end up with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
981 goes into 3840 3 times with a remainder of 897.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41667.63
Deduct 2943 from 3840 and we're left with 897.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8970, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 8970 by 981, we get 9 and a remainder of 141.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41667.639
If we take 8829 away from 8970, we end up with 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 1410 by 981, we get 1 and a remainder of 429.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41667.6391
Subtracting 981 from 1410 leaves us with 429.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
4290 divided by 981 is 4 with a remainder of 366.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41667.63914
The remainder is 366 after subtracting 3924 from 4290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 3660 by 981, we get 3 and a remainder of 717.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41667.639143
The remainder is 717 after subtracting 2943 from 3660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 7170 by 981, we get 7 and a remainder of 303.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41667.6391437
Subtracting 6867 from 7170 leaves us with 303.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3030, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 981 fits into 3030 3 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 41667.63914373
Subtract 2943 from 3030 to get 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 41667.63914373, and the remainder is 8.7e-08.
