We divide 40782338 by 686
Let's see how many times 686 fits into 40782338.

Going ahead to step 1:
686 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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 / 686

Step 2:
If we divide 40 by 686, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 407 / 686

Advancing to step 3:
The number 686 fits into 407 0 times, leaving a remainder of 407.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 407 leaves us with 407.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 407, then repeat: 4078 / 686

Going ahead to step 4:
686 goes into 4078 5 times with a remainder of 648.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 3430 from 4078 leaves us with 648.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 648 and continue: 6482 / 686

Going ahead to step 5:
686 can be fit into 6482 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 308.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 308 after subtracting 6174 from 6482.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 308, then carry on: 3083 / 686

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 3083 by 686, we get 4 and a remainder of 339.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 594.0
Subtracting 2744 from 3083 leaves us with 339.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 339 and continue: 3393 / 686

Step 7:
3393 divided by 686 is 4 with a remainder of 649.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5944.0
If we subtract 2744 from 3393, we get 649.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 649 and continue: 6498 / 686

Step 8:
6498 divided by 686 is 9 with a remainder of 324.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59449.0
If we subtract 6174 from 6498, we get 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
686 goes into 3240 4 times with a remainder of 496.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59449.4
The remainder is 496 after subtracting 2744 from 3240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 686 fits into 4960 7 times, leaving a remainder of 158.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59449.47
If we subtract 4802 from 4960, we get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
686 goes into 1580 2 times with a remainder of 208.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59449.472
If we subtract 1372 from 1580, we get 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 2080 by 686, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59449.4723
Subtract 2058 from 2080 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
220 divided by 686 is 0 with a remainder of 220.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59449.4723
Deduct 0 from 220 and we're left with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
686 goes into 2200 3 times with a remainder of 142.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59449.472303
Deduct 2058 from 2200 and we're left with 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
686 can be fit into 1420 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59449.4723032
If we take 1372 away from 1420, we end up with 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:
If we divide 480 by 686, we get 0 and a remainder of 480.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 59449.4723032
If we subtract 0 from 480, we get 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

The final result is 59449.4723032 with a remainder of 4.8e-07.
