We look at the division of 40977341 by 531 
We want to divide 40977341 by 531.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 531 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 531

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 531, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 531

On to step 3:
The number 531 fits into 409 0 times, leaving a remainder of 409.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 409, we end up with 409.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 409, then carry on: 4097 / 531

Step 4:
4097 divided by 531 is 7 with a remainder of 380.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 3717 from 4097 leaves us with 380.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 380 and continue with: 3807 / 531

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 3807 by 531, we get 7 with a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 77.0
If we take 3717 away from 3807, we end up with 90.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 90, then repeat: 903 / 531

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 903 by 531, we get 1 with a remainder of 372.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 771.0
The remainder is 372 after subtracting 531 from 903.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 372, then carry on: 3724 / 531

Moving on to step 7:
531 goes into 3724 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7717.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 3717 from 3724.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 531

Step 8:
71 divided by 531 is 0 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77170.0
If we take 0 away from 71, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
710 divided by 531 is 1 with a remainder of 179.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 77170.1
Subtracting 531 from 710 leaves us with 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1790, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 1790 by 531, we get 3 and a remainder of 197.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 77170.13
Subtracting 1593 from 1790 leaves us with 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1970, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
1970 divided by 531 is 3 with a remainder of 377.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 77170.133
If we take 1593 away from 1970, we end up with 377.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3770, and continue the process.

The final result is 77170.133 with a remainder of 0.0377.
