We're dividing 40626959 by 974 
We want to figure out the number of times 40626959 can be divided by 974.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 974 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 974

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 974, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 406 / 974

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 974 fits into 406 0 times, leaving a remainder of 406.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 406, we get 406.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 406 and continue: 4062 / 974

Moving on to step 4:
974 can be fit into 4062 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 166.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 3896 from 4062.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 166, then carry on: 1666 / 974

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 974 fits into 1666 1 times, leaving a remainder of 692.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtracting 974 from 1666 leaves us with 692.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 692 and repeat the process: 6929 / 974

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 6929 by 974, we get 7 and a remainder of 111.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 417.0
Deduct 6818 from 6929 and we're left with 111.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 111, then carry on: 1115 / 974

Advancing to step 7:
The number 974 fits into 1115 1 times, leaving a remainder of 141.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4171.0
Subtract 974 from 1115 to get 141.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 141 and repeat the process: 1419 / 974

Let's proceed to step 8:
1419 divided by 974 is 1 with a remainder of 445.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41711.0
If we take 974 away from 1419, we end up with 445.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
4450 divided by 974 is 4 with a remainder of 554.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41711.4
Subtracting 3896 from 4450 leaves us with 554.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
974 goes into 5540 5 times with a remainder of 670.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41711.45
Deduct 4870 from 5540 and we're left with 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6700, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
974 goes into 6700 6 times with a remainder of 856.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41711.456
If we take 5844 away from 6700, 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
974 goes into 8560 8 times with a remainder of 768.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41711.4568
If we subtract 7792 from 8560, we get 768.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7680, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 7680 by 974, we get 7 with a remainder of 862.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 41711.45687
If we subtract 6818 from 7680, we get 862.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 974 fits into 8620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 828.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 41711.456878
Deduct 7792 from 8620 and we're left with 828.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
8280 divided by 974 is 8 with a remainder of 488.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 41711.4568788
If we subtract 7792 from 8280, we get 488.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 41711.4568788, and the remainder is 4.88e-06.
