988302 ÷ 40 
Our goal is to divide 988302 by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
98 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 80 from 98, we get 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 40

Step 3:
188 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 160 away from 188, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 283 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
283 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 247.0
If we take 280 away from 283, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 30 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2470.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 302 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
302 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 24707.0
If we take 280 away from 302, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24707.5
Subtracting 200 from 220 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.

Step 8:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24707.55
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.

The final result is 24707.55 with a remainder of 0.0.
