Let's divide 683875 by 40
Our goal is to divide 683875 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
40 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 40

Step 2:
The number 40 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 68, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 283 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 283 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 280 from 283.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
38 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 170.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 387 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
387 divided by 40 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1709.0
If we take 360 away from 387, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 275 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
40 goes into 275 6 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17096.0
If we subtract 240 from 275, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
40 goes into 350 8 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17096.8
If we take 320 away from 350, we end up with 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:
40 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17096.87
Subtracting 280 from 300 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17096.875
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.

On to step 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17096.875
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.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 17096.875
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.

The final outcome is 17096.875, with a leftover of 0.0.
