We're dividing 40979533 by 287 
Let's see how many times 287 fits into 40979533.

Step 1:
287 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 287

Going ahead to step 2:
40 divided by 287 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 409 / 287

Advancing to step 3:
287 goes into 409 1 times with a remainder of 122.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 287 away from 409, we end up with 122.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 122 and continue: 1227 / 287

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 1227 by 287, we get 4 with a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 1148 from 1227, we get 79.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 79 and continue: 799 / 287

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 799 by 287, we get 2 and a remainder of 225.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142.0
Deduct 574 from 799 and we're left with 225.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 225, then carry on: 2255 / 287

Let's proceed to step 6:
2255 divided by 287 is 7 with a remainder of 246.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1427.0
If we take 2009 away from 2255, we end up with 246.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 246 and repeat the process: 2463 / 287

Step 7:
The number 287 fits into 2463 8 times, leaving a remainder of 167.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14278.0
Subtract 2296 from 2463 to get 167.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 167 and repeat the process: 1673 / 287

On to step 8:
1673 divided by 287 is 5 with a remainder of 238.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142785.0
If we take 1435 away from 1673, we end up with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
2380 divided by 287 is 8 with a remainder of 84.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142785.8
Subtract 2296 from 2380 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 840 by 287, we get 2 with a remainder of 266.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142785.82
Subtract 574 from 840 to get 266.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 2660 by 287, we get 9 with a remainder of 77.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142785.829
Subtract 2583 from 2660 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 770 by 287, we get 2 and a remainder of 196.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142785.8292
If we subtract 574 from 770, we get 196.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1960, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 287 fits into 1960 6 times, leaving a remainder of 238.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142785.82926
Deduct 1722 from 1960 and we're left with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
2380 divided by 287 is 8 with a remainder of 84.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142785.829268
If we subtract 2296 from 2380, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 840 by 287, we get 2 with a remainder of 266.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142785.8292682
Subtract 574 from 840 to get 266.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
287 goes into 2660 9 times with a remainder of 77.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142785.82926829
Subtract 2583 from 2660 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

The final result is 142785.82926829 with a remainder of 7.7e-08.
