The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 407 / 996

Advancing to step 3:
407 divided by 996 is 0 with a remainder of 407.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 407, we end up with 407.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 407 and continue with: 4070 / 996

On to step 4:
When dividing 4070 by 996, we get 4 with a remainder of 86.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 3984 from 4070 leaves us with 86.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 86 and repeat the process: 860 / 996

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 860 by 996, we get 0 with a remainder of 860.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 860 to get 860.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 860 and repeat the process: 8604 / 996

Advancing to step 6:
996 can be fit into 8604 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 636.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408.0
The remainder is 636 after subtracting 7968 from 8604.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 636, then repeat: 6369 / 996

Let's proceed to step 7:
996 goes into 6369 6 times with a remainder of 393.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4086.0
Subtracting 5976 from 6369 leaves us with 393.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 393, then repeat: 3931 / 996

Moving on to step 8:
The number 996 fits into 3931 3 times, leaving a remainder of 943.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40863.0
The remainder is 943 after subtracting 2988 from 3931.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 9430 by 996, we get 9 with a remainder of 466.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40863.9
If we subtract 8964 from 9430, we get 466.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 4660 by 996, we get 4 with a remainder of 676.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 40863.94
Subtracting 3984 from 4660 leaves us with 676.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
996 goes into 6760 6 times with a remainder of 784.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40863.946
Deduct 5976 from 6760 and we're left with 784.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7840, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
7840 divided by 996 is 7 with a remainder of 868.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40863.9467
Subtracting 6972 from 7840 leaves us with 868.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
996 goes into 8680 8 times with a remainder of 712.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 40863.94678
If we subtract 7968 from 8680, we get 712.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 7120 by 996, we get 7 with a remainder of 148.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40863.946787
If we take 6972 away from 7120, we end up with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 1480 by 996, we get 1 with a remainder of 484.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40863.9467871
If we subtract 996 from 1480, we get 484.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4840, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
4840 divided by 996 is 4 with a remainder of 856.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 40863.94678714
If we take 3984 away from 4840, we end up with 856.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8560, and continue the process.

The final result is 40863.94678714 with a remainder of 8.56e-07.
