We divide 100898 by 40
Our goal is to divide 100898 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
10 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 100 / 40

On to step 3:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 80 from 100.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 208 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 208 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 200 from 208 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 89 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 252.0
Subtracting 80 from 89 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
40 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2522.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 80 from 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2522.4
If we subtract 160 from 180, 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2522.45
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2522.45
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2522.45
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.

Our division results in 2522.45 with a remaining 0.0.
