We're dividing 606261 by 40 
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 606261.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 60 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 60 to get 20.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 206 / 40

Step 3:
If we divide 206 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 6.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 200 from 206.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 62 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
40 goes into 62 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 151.0
If we take 40 away from 62, we end up with 22.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
226 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 26.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1515.0
If we take 200 away from 226, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 40

On to step 6:
If we divide 261 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15156.0
Subtract 240 from 261 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 210 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15156.5
If we subtract 200 from 210, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15156.52
Subtract 80 from 100 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
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: 15156.525
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.

On to step 10:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15156.525
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15156.525
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 15156.525 with a balance of 0.0.
