We look at the division of 145941 by 40 
We want to figure out the number of times 145941 can be divided by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
40 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 40

Step 2:
40 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 145 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 120 from 145.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 40

On to step 4:
If we divide 259 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 19.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 240 away from 259, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 194 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
40 can be fit into 194 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 364.0
Subtracting 160 from 194 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 341 / 40

On to step 6:
If we divide 341 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3648.0
If we take 320 away from 341, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 7:
210 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3648.5
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 200 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3648.52
Deduct 80 from 100 and we're left 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 9:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3648.525
Subtract 200 from 200 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3648.525
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 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: 3648.525
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 3648.525, and the remainder is 0.0.
