624499 ÷ 40 
We want to divide 624499 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 62 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 62 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 224 / 40

On to step 3:
If we divide 224 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 200 from 224.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 244 / 40

On to step 4:
40 can be fit into 244 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 156.0
Subtract 240 from 244 to get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
40 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1561.0
Deduct 40 from 49 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 40

Step 6:
The number 40 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15612.0
Subtract 80 from 99 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
40 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15612.4
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 160 from 190.
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:
40 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15612.47
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 280 from 300.
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:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15612.475
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.

Step 10:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15612.475
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on 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: 15612.475
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

The final outcome is 15612.475, with a leftover of 0.0.
