294875 divided by 40 
We want to figure out the number of times 294875 can be divided by 40.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
40 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 294 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 294 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 280 from 294 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 148 3 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we subtract 120 from 148, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
40 goes into 287 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 737.0
If we subtract 280 from 287, we get 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
40 can be fit into 75 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7371.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 40 from 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 30.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7371.8
Subtract 320 from 350 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
40 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7371.87
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7371.875
Deduct 200 from 200 and we're left 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:
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: 7371.875
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7371.875
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.

The quotient of the division is 7371.875, and the remainder is 0.0.
