We look at the division of 970779 by 40 
We want to divide 970779 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 40

Step 2:
97 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 80 away from 97, we end up with 17.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 170 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
170 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 160 from 170 and we're left with 10.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 107 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
40 can be fit into 107 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 242.0
If we subtract 80 from 107, we get 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 40

On to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 277 6 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2426.0
Deduct 240 from 277 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 379 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 379 by 40, we get 9 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24269.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 360 from 379.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 40, we get 4 with a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24269.4
If we take 160 away from 190, we end up with 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 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24269.47
If we take 280 away from 300, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
The number 40 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24269.475
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.

On to step 10:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24269.475
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 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:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24269.475
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.

The final result is 24269.475 with a remainder of 0.0.
