Let's divide 40697421 by 834
We're looking to find how many times 834 goes into 40697421.

Advancing to step 1:
834 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
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 / 834

On to step 2:
The number 834 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 406 / 834

Going ahead to step 3:
834 can be fit into 406 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 406.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 406, we get 406.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 406 and continue: 4069 / 834

On to step 4:
If we divide 4069 by 834, we get 4 and a remainder of 733.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 3336 away from 4069, we end up with 733.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 733, then repeat: 7337 / 834

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 7337 by 834, we get 8 and a remainder of 665.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 6672 from 7337 and we're left with 665.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 665 and continue with: 6654 / 834

Step 6:
The number 834 fits into 6654 7 times, leaving a remainder of 816.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 487.0
If we take 5838 away from 6654, we end up with 816.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 816 and repeat the process: 8162 / 834

Let's proceed to step 7:
834 can be fit into 8162 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 656.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4879.0
Subtracting 7506 from 8162 leaves us with 656.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 656, then repeat: 6561 / 834

Step 8:
The number 834 fits into 6561 7 times, leaving a remainder of 723.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48797.0
Deduct 5838 from 6561 and we're left with 723.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
834 can be fit into 7230 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 558.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48797.8
Deduct 6672 from 7230 and we're left with 558.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5580, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 5580 by 834, we get 6 and a remainder of 576.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48797.86
If we subtract 5004 from 5580, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
834 can be fit into 5760 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 756.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48797.866
Subtract 5004 from 5760 to get 756.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 48797.866 with a balance of 0.0756.
