We're dividing 40454715 by 531 
We want to divide 40454715 by 531.

Going ahead to step 1:
531 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 531

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 531 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
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 404 / 531

Step 3:
If we divide 404 by 531, we get 0 and a remainder of 404.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 404, we get 404.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 404, then repeat: 4045 / 531

Step 4:
The number 531 fits into 4045 7 times, leaving a remainder of 328.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 328 after subtracting 3717 from 4045.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 328 and repeat the process: 3284 / 531

On to step 5:
3284 divided by 531 is 6 with a remainder of 98.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtract 3186 from 3284 to get 98.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 98 and repeat the process: 987 / 531

Going ahead to step 6:
987 divided by 531 is 1 with a remainder of 456.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 761.0
If we subtract 531 from 987, we get 456.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 456 and repeat the process: 4561 / 531

Step 7:
If we divide 4561 by 531, we get 8 and a remainder of 313.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7618.0
Deduct 4248 from 4561 and we're left with 313.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 313 and repeat the process: 3135 / 531

Moving on to step 8:
The number 531 fits into 3135 5 times, leaving a remainder of 480.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 76185.0
Subtract 2655 from 3135 to get 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 4800 by 531, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76185.9
If we take 4779 away from 4800, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 210 by 531, we get 0 and a remainder of 210.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76185.9
The remainder is 210 after subtracting 0 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
531 can be fit into 2100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 507.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 76185.903
The remainder is 507 after subtracting 1593 from 2100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5070, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 5070 by 531, we get 9 and a remainder of 291.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 76185.9039
Subtract 4779 from 5070 to get 291.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2910, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 2910 by 531, we get 5 with a remainder of 255.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 76185.90395
Deduct 2655 from 2910 and we're left with 255.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2550, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
2550 divided by 531 is 4 with a remainder of 426.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 76185.903954
Deduct 2124 from 2550 and we're left with 426.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 4260 by 531, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 76185.9039548
If we subtract 4248 from 4260, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
120 divided by 531 is 0 with a remainder of 120.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76185.9039548
The remainder is 120 after subtracting 0 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 76185.9039548, and the remainder is 1.2e-07.
