We look at the division of 40841699 by 578 
We want to divide 40841699 by 578.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 578, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 578

Let's proceed to step 2:
578 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 408 / 578

Let's proceed to step 3:
578 goes into 408 0 times with a remainder of 408.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 408 and we're left with 408.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 408 and repeat the process: 4084 / 578

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 4084 by 578, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 4046 from 4084 leaves us with 38.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 381 / 578

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 381 by 578, we get 0 and a remainder of 381.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Deduct 0 from 381 and we're left with 381.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 381, then carry on: 3816 / 578

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 578 fits into 3816 6 times, leaving a remainder of 348.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 706.0
Subtract 3468 from 3816 to get 348.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 348 and continue with: 3489 / 578

On to step 7:
When dividing 3489 by 578, we get 6 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7066.0
Subtract 3468 from 3489 to get 21.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 219 / 578

Moving on to step 8:
578 goes into 219 0 times with a remainder of 219.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70660.0
The remainder is 219 after subtracting 0 from 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
578 goes into 2190 3 times with a remainder of 456.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70660.3
If we subtract 1734 from 2190, we get 456.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 4560 by 578, we get 7 with a remainder of 514.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70660.37
The remainder is 514 after subtracting 4046 from 4560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
5140 divided by 578 is 8 with a remainder of 516.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70660.378
Subtracting 4624 from 5140 leaves us with 516.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 5160 by 578, we get 8 with a remainder of 536.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70660.3788
If we take 4624 away from 5160, we end up with 536.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5360, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 70660.3788, with a leftover of 0.00536.
