555412 divided by 40 
Our goal is to divide 555412 by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 55, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 155 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 155 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 120 from 155 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 354 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 354 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 138.0
If we take 320 away from 354, we end up with 34.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 341 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
40 goes into 341 8 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1388.0
Subtracting 320 from 341 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 212 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 212 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13885.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 200 from 212.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13885.3
If we take 120 away from 120, 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.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13885.3
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13885.3
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 13885.3 with a balance of 0.0.
