40995384 divided by 588 
Our goal is to divide 40995384 by 588.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 588 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
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 / 588

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 588, we get 0 with 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 (9) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 409 / 588

Let's proceed to step 3:
588 goes into 409 0 times with a remainder of 409.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 409, we end up with 409.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 409, then carry on: 4099 / 588

Advancing to step 4:
588 goes into 4099 6 times with a remainder of 571.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 3528 from 4099 leaves us with 571.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 571 and continue: 5715 / 588

On to step 5:
588 goes into 5715 9 times with a remainder of 423.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we take 5292 away from 5715, we end up with 423.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 423 and continue with: 4233 / 588

On to step 6:
When dividing 4233 by 588, we get 7 with a remainder of 117.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 697.0
Deduct 4116 from 4233 and we're left with 117.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 117, then repeat: 1178 / 588

On to step 7:
If we divide 1178 by 588, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6972.0
If we subtract 1176 from 1178, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 588

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 24 by 588, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 69720.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
588 goes into 240 0 times with a remainder of 240.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69720.0
Deduct 0 from 240 and we're left with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
588 goes into 2400 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69720.04
If we subtract 2352 from 2400, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 480 by 588, we get 0 with a remainder of 480.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 69720.04
Subtract 0 from 480 to get 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 4800 by 588, we get 8 and a remainder of 96.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69720.0408
Subtract 4704 from 4800 to get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 588 fits into 960 1 times, leaving a remainder of 372.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69720.04081
Subtract 588 from 960 to get 372.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 3720 by 588, we get 6 and a remainder of 192.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69720.040816
Subtract 3528 from 3720 to get 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
588 can be fit into 1920 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 156.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69720.0408163
Deduct 1764 from 1920 and we're left with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 1560 by 588, we get 2 and a remainder of 384.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 69720.04081632
The remainder is 384 after subtracting 1176 from 1560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

The final result is 69720.04081632 with a remainder of 3.84e-07.
