40581274 ÷ 744 
We want to divide 40581274 by 744.

Step 1:
744 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 744

Step 2:
40 divided by 744 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 405 / 744

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 405 by 744, we get 0 with a remainder of 405.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 405, we get 405.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 405, then repeat: 4058 / 744

On to step 4:
744 goes into 4058 5 times with a remainder of 338.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 3720 from 4058 leaves us with 338.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 338 and continue with: 3381 / 744

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 3381 by 744, we get 4 and a remainder of 405.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 2976 away from 3381, we end up with 405.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 405 and repeat the process: 4052 / 744

Step 6:
744 can be fit into 4052 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 332.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 545.0
Deduct 3720 from 4052 and we're left with 332.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 332 and continue with: 3327 / 744

Advancing to step 7:
744 can be fit into 3327 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 351.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5454.0
If we subtract 2976 from 3327, we get 351.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 351 and continue with: 3514 / 744

On to step 8:
744 goes into 3514 4 times with a remainder of 538.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54544.0
Subtracting 2976 from 3514 leaves us with 538.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
744 goes into 5380 7 times with a remainder of 172.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 54544.7
Subtracting 5208 from 5380 leaves us with 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
744 can be fit into 1720 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 232.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54544.72
If we subtract 1488 from 1720, we get 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 2320 by 744, we get 3 with a remainder of 88.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54544.723
If we take 2232 away from 2320, we end up with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
880 divided by 744 is 1 with a remainder of 136.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54544.7231
If we take 744 away from 880, we end up with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
1360 divided by 744 is 1 with a remainder of 616.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54544.72311
Subtract 744 from 1360 to get 616.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 54544.72311 with a balance of 0.000616.
