78269 divided by 40 
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 78269.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
40 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 78 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 382 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 382 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 360 from 382, we get 22.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 226 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 226 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 26.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 195.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 200 from 226.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 40

Step 5:
269 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1956.0
If we take 240 away from 269, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
40 can be fit into 290 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1956.7
Deduct 280 from 290 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
40 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1956.72
Subtracting 80 from 100 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1956.725
If we subtract 200 from 200, we 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1956.725
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 10:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1956.725
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.

Our division results in 1956.725 with a remaining 0.0.
