We look at the division of 40408 by 68 
We want to divide 40408 by 68.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 68 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 68

Advancing to step 2:
68 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 404 / 68

Moving on to step 3:
404 divided by 68 is 5 with a remainder of 64.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 340 from 404 to get 64.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 640 / 68

Step 4:
If we divide 640 by 68, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 612 from 640.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 68

Going ahead to step 5:
288 divided by 68 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 594.0
If we take 272 away from 288, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 160 by 68, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 594.2
Subtracting 136 from 160 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
68 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 594.23
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 204 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 68 fits into 360 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 594.235
Subtract 340 from 360 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
68 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 594.2352
Deduct 136 from 200 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 10:
68 goes into 640 9 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 594.23529
Deduct 612 from 640 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 68, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 594.235294
Subtract 272 from 280 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 68 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 594.2352941
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 68 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 120 by 68, we get 1 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 594.23529411
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 68 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 594.23529411, with a leftover of 5.2e-08.
