98599 divided by 40 
We want to figure out the number of times 98599 can be divided by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
40 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 40

Step 2:
40 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 80 from 98 to get 18.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 185 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
40 can be fit into 185 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 160 away from 185, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 40

Step 4:
The number 40 fits into 259 6 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 246.0
If we take 240 away from 259, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 199 / 40

On to step 5:
40 goes into 199 4 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2464.0
Subtracting 160 from 199 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 390 by 40, we get 9 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2464.9
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 360 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 300 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2464.97
Deduct 280 from 300 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2464.975
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 9:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2464.975
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 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2464.975
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 result is 2464.975 with a remainder of 0.0.
