40882461 ÷ 23 
Let's see how many times 23 fits into 40882461.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 23, we get 0 and 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.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 23 from 40, we get 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
23 goes into 178 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 161 from 178 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
178 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 177.0
If we take 161 away from 178, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
23 can be fit into 172 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1777.0
Subtracting 161 from 172 leaves us with 11.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 114 / 23

Step 6:
The number 23 fits into 114 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17774.0
If we subtract 92 from 114, we get 22.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 226 / 23

Moving on to step 7:
23 can be fit into 226 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 177749.0
Subtract 207 from 226 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 191 / 23

On to step 8:
When dividing 191 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1777498.0
If we subtract 184 from 191, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 70 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1777498.3
Subtracting 69 from 70 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1777498.3
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1777498.304
Subtract 92 from 100 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
23 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1777498.3043
If we subtract 69 from 80, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1777498.30434
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 180 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1777498.304347
Subtract 161 from 180 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
23 goes into 190 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1777498.3043478
Deduct 184 from 190 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 60 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1777498.30434782
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1777498.30434782 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
