We look at the division of 15545 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 15545 by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
40 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 40

Step 2:
40 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 155 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 155 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 120 from 155.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 354 / 40

On to step 4:
40 can be fit into 354 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 320 from 354, we get 34.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 345 / 40

On to step 5:
40 can be fit into 345 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 388.0
Subtract 320 from 345 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
40 goes into 250 6 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 388.6
Deduct 240 from 250 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 388.62
If we subtract 80 from 100, we 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 8:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 388.625
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 9:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 388.625
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

On to step 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 388.625
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.

The final outcome is 388.625, with a leftover of 0.0.
