901705 divided by 40 
Our goal is to divide 901705 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
40 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 90 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
40 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 80 from 90 and we're left with 10.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 101 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 101 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 80 from 101 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
40 goes into 217 5 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 225.0
Deduct 200 from 217 and we're left with 17.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 170 / 40

On to step 5:
40 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2254.0
Subtracting 160 from 170 leaves us with 10.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 105 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 105 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22542.0
Subtract 80 from 105 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
40 goes into 250 6 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 22542.6
Subtracting 240 from 250 leaves us 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 8:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22542.62
Deduct 80 from 100 and we're left 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.

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: 22542.625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
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 10:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22542.625
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22542.625
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 result is 22542.625 with a remainder of 0.0.
