We look at the division of 918875 by 40 
We want to divide 918875 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 91 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 91 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 80 from 91 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 118 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 80 from 118 to get 38.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 388 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
40 can be fit into 388 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 229.0
Deduct 360 from 388 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 287 / 40

Step 5:
If we divide 287 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2297.0
Subtracting 280 from 287 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 40

On to step 6:
When dividing 75 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 22971.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 40 from 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 350 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 30.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22971.8
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 320 from 350.
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 8:
If we divide 300 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22971.87
If we take 280 away from 300, 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.

Step 9:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22971.875
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22971.875
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22971.875
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 final result is 22971.875 with a remainder of 0.0.
