We're dividing 40687335 by 852 
We want to divide 40687335 by 852.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 852, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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 / 852

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 852 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 406 / 852

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 406 by 852, we get 0 with a remainder of 406.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 406, we get 406.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 406 and continue with: 4068 / 852

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 4068 by 852, we get 4 and a remainder of 660.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 660 after subtracting 3408 from 4068.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 660 and repeat the process: 6607 / 852

On to step 5:
852 goes into 6607 7 times with a remainder of 643.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtracting 5964 from 6607 leaves us with 643.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 643, then repeat: 6433 / 852

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 6433 by 852, we get 7 and a remainder of 469.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 477.0
The remainder is 469 after subtracting 5964 from 6433.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 469 and repeat the process: 4693 / 852

Moving on to step 7:
852 can be fit into 4693 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 433.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4775.0
The remainder is 433 after subtracting 4260 from 4693.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 433 and continue with: 4335 / 852

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 4335 by 852, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47755.0
Subtracting 4260 from 4335 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 750 by 852, we get 0 and a remainder of 750.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47755.0
Subtract 0 from 750 to get 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 7500 by 852, we get 8 and a remainder of 684.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47755.08
If we take 6816 away from 7500, we end up with 684.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6840, and continue the process.

Step 11:
852 can be fit into 6840 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47755.088
Subtracting 6816 from 6840 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 47755.088 with a remaining 0.0024.
