40875897 ÷ 749 
We're looking to find how many times 749 goes into 40875897.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 749 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 749

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 749, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 749

On to step 3:
The number 749 fits into 408 0 times, leaving a remainder of 408.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 408 to get 408.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 408 and repeat the process: 4087 / 749

Moving on to step 4:
The number 749 fits into 4087 5 times, leaving a remainder of 342.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 3745 from 4087, we get 342.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 342, then repeat: 3425 / 749

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 3425 by 749, we get 4 and a remainder of 429.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 2996 from 3425, we get 429.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 429 and repeat the process: 4298 / 749

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 749 fits into 4298 5 times, leaving a remainder of 553.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 545.0
If we take 3745 away from 4298, we end up with 553.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 553, then carry on: 5539 / 749

Moving on to step 7:
The number 749 fits into 5539 7 times, leaving a remainder of 296.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5457.0
Deduct 5243 from 5539 and we're left with 296.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 296 and repeat the process: 2967 / 749

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 749 fits into 2967 3 times, leaving a remainder of 720.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 54573.0
If we subtract 2247 from 2967, we get 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 7200 by 749, we get 9 with a remainder of 459.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54573.9
The remainder is 459 after subtracting 6741 from 7200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4590, and continue the process.

Step 10:
4590 divided by 749 is 6 with a remainder of 96.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54573.96
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 4494 from 4590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 960 by 749, we get 1 with a remainder of 211.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54573.961
The remainder is 211 after subtracting 749 from 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2110, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 2110 by 749, we get 2 with a remainder of 612.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54573.9612
If we subtract 1498 from 2110, we get 612.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
6120 divided by 749 is 8 with a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 54573.96128
Deduct 5992 from 6120 and we're left with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
1280 divided by 749 is 1 with a remainder of 531.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 54573.961281
Subtracting 749 from 1280 leaves us with 531.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
749 can be fit into 5310 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54573.9612817
If we take 5243 away from 5310, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 670 by 749, we get 0 and a remainder of 670.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54573.9612817
Subtracting 0 from 670 leaves us 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.

The final result is 54573.9612817 with a remainder of 6.7e-07.
