Let's divide 533781 by 40
We want to figure out the number of times 533781 can be divided by 40.

Step 1:
5 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
40 can be fit into 53 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 53, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 133 / 40

On to step 3:
40 can be fit into 133 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 120 from 133 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 137 / 40

Step 4:
40 goes into 137 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 133.0
Deduct 120 from 137 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
178 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1334.0
If we subtract 160 from 178, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 181 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
181 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13344.0
Subtracting 160 from 181 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 210 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13344.5
Subtracting 200 from 210 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13344.52
If we take 80 away from 100, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13344.525
If we take 200 away from 200, 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.

On to step 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13344.525
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13344.525
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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 quotient of the division is 13344.525, and the remainder is 0.0.
