We look at the division of 40297916 by 971 
We're looking to find how many times 971 goes into 40297916.

Moving on to step 1:
971 goes into 4 0 times with 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.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 971

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 971, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 402 / 971

Advancing to step 3:
The number 971 fits into 402 0 times, leaving a remainder of 402.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 402 and we're left with 402.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 402, then repeat: 4029 / 971

On to step 4:
When dividing 4029 by 971, we get 4 with a remainder of 145.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 3884 away from 4029, we end up with 145.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 145 and repeat the process: 1457 / 971

Step 5:
If we divide 1457 by 971, we get 1 and a remainder of 486.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtracting 971 from 1457 leaves us with 486.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 486 and repeat the process: 4869 / 971

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 4869 by 971, we get 5 and a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 415.0
If we take 4855 away from 4869, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 141 / 971

Let's proceed to step 7:
971 goes into 141 0 times with a remainder of 141.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4150.0
Subtracting 0 from 141 leaves us with 141.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 141, then repeat: 1416 / 971

On to step 8:
The number 971 fits into 1416 1 times, leaving a remainder of 445.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41501.0
Subtract 971 from 1416 to get 445.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4450, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
4450 divided by 971 is 4 with a remainder of 566.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41501.4
Subtracting 3884 from 4450 leaves us with 566.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
971 goes into 5660 5 times with a remainder of 805.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41501.45
If we take 4855 away from 5660, we end up with 805.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8050, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
8050 divided by 971 is 8 with a remainder of 282.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41501.458
If we take 7768 away from 8050, we end up with 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 2820 by 971, we get 2 and a remainder of 878.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41501.4582
If we subtract 1942 from 2820, we get 878.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
8780 divided by 971 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41501.45829
If we subtract 8739 from 8780, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 971 fits into 410 0 times, leaving a remainder of 410.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41501.45829
If we subtract 0 from 410, we get 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4100, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 4100 by 971, we get 4 and a remainder of 216.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41501.4582904
Subtracting 3884 from 4100 leaves us with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
When dividing 2160 by 971, we get 2 with a remainder of 218.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41501.45829042
Subtract 1942 from 2160 to get 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 41501.45829042, and the remainder is 2.18e-07.
