577217 divided by 40 
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 577217.

Let's proceed to step 1:
40 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 40

Step 2:
40 goes into 57 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 57 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 40

On to step 3:
40 can be fit into 177 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 160 from 177, we get 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 172 by 40, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 144.0
If we take 160 away from 172, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 121 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 121 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1443.0
If we subtract 120 from 121, we get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 40

On to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14430.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
170 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14430.4
Deduct 160 from 170 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 14430.42
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:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14430.425
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
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:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14430.425
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.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 14430.425
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.

After the division, we end up with 14430.425 and a remainder of 0.0.
