Let's see how many times 188 fits into 40372057.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 188 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 188

Advancing to step 2:
188 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 403 / 188

Moving on to step 3:
188 can be fit into 403 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 376 from 403, we get 27.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 277 / 188

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 277 by 188, we get 1 and a remainder of 89.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 188 from 277, we get 89.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 89 and repeat the process: 892 / 188

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 892 by 188, we get 4 and a remainder of 140.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 214.0
Deduct 752 from 892 and we're left with 140.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 140 and continue: 1400 / 188

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 1400 by 188, we get 7 with a remainder of 84.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2147.0
If we subtract 1316 from 1400, we get 84.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 845 / 188

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 845 by 188, we get 4 with a remainder of 93.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21474.0
The remainder is 93 after subtracting 752 from 845.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 93 and continue: 937 / 188

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 937 by 188, we get 4 with a remainder of 185.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 214744.0
Subtract 752 from 937 to get 185.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
188 goes into 1850 9 times with a remainder of 158.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 214744.9
The remainder is 158 after subtracting 1692 from 1850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1580 by 188, we get 8 and a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 214744.98
Deduct 1504 from 1580 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 760 by 188, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 214744.984
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 752 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 188, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 214744.984
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
188 goes into 800 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 214744.98404
Subtract 752 from 800 to 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 480 by 188, we get 2 with a remainder of 104.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 214744.984042
If we subtract 376 from 480, we get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 1040 by 188, we get 5 and a remainder of 100.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 214744.9840425
Subtract 940 from 1040 to get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
1000 divided by 188 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 214744.98404255
Deduct 940 from 1000 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 214744.98404255 with a balance of 6e-08.
