40866052 divided by 231 
Our goal is to divide 40866052 by 231.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 231

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 408 / 231

Step 3:
When dividing 408 by 231, we get 1 with a remainder of 177.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 231 away from 408, we end up with 177.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 177, then repeat: 1776 / 231

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 1776 by 231, we get 7 and a remainder of 159.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 1617 away from 1776, we end up with 159.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 159, then repeat: 1596 / 231

On to step 5:
The number 231 fits into 1596 6 times, leaving a remainder of 210.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176.0
If we subtract 1386 from 1596, we get 210.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 210 and continue with: 2100 / 231

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 2100 by 231, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1769.0
If we take 2079 away from 2100, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 215 / 231

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 215 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 215.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17690.0
If we subtract 0 from 215, we get 215.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 215, then repeat: 2152 / 231

On to step 8:
When dividing 2152 by 231, we get 9 with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 176909.0
Deduct 2079 from 2152 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
231 goes into 730 3 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176909.3
Deduct 693 from 730 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 370 by 231, we get 1 with a remainder of 139.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176909.31
Deduct 231 from 370 and we're left with 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1390, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
1390 divided by 231 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176909.316
Subtract 1386 from 1390 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176909.316
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
231 can be fit into 400 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 169.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176909.31601
Subtract 231 from 400 to get 169.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1690, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 1690 by 231, we get 7 and a remainder of 73.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176909.316017
If we subtract 1617 from 1690, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
231 goes into 730 3 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176909.3160173
Subtracting 693 from 730 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
231 goes into 370 1 times with a remainder of 139.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176909.31601731
Subtract 231 from 370 to get 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1390, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 176909.31601731 and a remainder of 1.39e-07.
