We divide 55581937 by 40
We want to divide 55581937 by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 40

On to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 40 from 55.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 155 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
155 divided by 40 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 120 from 155 to get 35.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 358 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
358 divided by 40 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 138.0
Subtracting 320 from 358 leaves us with 38.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 381 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 381 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1389.0
If we take 360 away from 381, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 40

On to step 6:
When dividing 219 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13895.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 200 from 219.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 193 / 40

On to step 7:
193 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138954.0
If we take 160 away from 193, we end up with 33.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 337 / 40

Let's proceed to step 8:
40 can be fit into 337 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1389548.0
Subtracting 320 from 337 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 40 fits into 170 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1389548.4
If we take 160 away from 170, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
100 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1389548.42
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1389548.425
Subtracting 200 from 200 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 12:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1389548.425
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 13:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1389548.425
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.

Our division results in 1389548.425 with a remaining 0.0.
