We divide 372079 by 40
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 372079.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 37 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 372 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
372 divided by 40 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 360 from 372 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 40

On to step 4:
120 divided by 40 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 93.0
Subtracting 120 from 120 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 40

Step 5:
The number 40 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 930.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 40

On to step 6:
79 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9301.0
Deduct 40 from 79 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 goes into 390 9 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9301.9
If we subtract 360 from 390, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
300 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9301.97
If we subtract 280 from 300, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 40 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9301.975
If we take 200 away from 200, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9301.975
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9301.975
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 9301.975 with a remainder of 0.0.
