Let's divide 40542693 by 141
We're looking to find how many times 141 goes into 40542693.

On to step 1:
The number 141 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 141

Let's proceed to step 2:
141 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 405 / 141

Going ahead to step 3:
405 divided by 141 is 2 with a remainder of 123.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 123 after subtracting 282 from 405.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 123 and continue: 1234 / 141

On to step 4:
1234 divided by 141 is 8 with a remainder of 106.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 1128 from 1234.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 106, then repeat: 1062 / 141

Let's proceed to step 5:
1062 divided by 141 is 7 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 287.0
Subtracting 987 from 1062 leaves us with 75.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 75, then repeat: 756 / 141

On to step 6:
The number 141 fits into 756 5 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2875.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 705 from 756.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 519 / 141

Let's proceed to step 7:
141 goes into 519 3 times with a remainder of 96.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28753.0
If we take 423 away from 519, we end up with 96.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 96, then repeat: 963 / 141

Going ahead to step 8:
141 goes into 963 6 times with a remainder of 117.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 287536.0
If we take 846 away from 963, we end up with 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 1170 by 141, we get 8 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 287536.8
If we take 1128 away from 1170, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 420 by 141, we get 2 and a remainder of 138.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 287536.82
Subtract 282 from 420 to get 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
141 can be fit into 1380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 111.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 287536.829
If we subtract 1269 from 1380, we get 111.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
1110 divided by 141 is 7 with a remainder of 123.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 287536.8297
If we subtract 987 from 1110, we get 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1230, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
141 goes into 1230 8 times with a remainder of 102.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 287536.82978
Deduct 1128 from 1230 and we're left with 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Step 14:
141 can be fit into 1020 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 287536.829787
If we subtract 987 from 1020, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
141 goes into 330 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 287536.8297872
If we subtract 282 from 330, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 16:
141 can be fit into 480 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 287536.82978723
If we take 423 away from 480, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

The final result is 287536.82978723 with a remainder of 5.7e-08.
