Let's divide 272624 by 40
We want to figure out the number of times 272624 can be divided by 40.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 40

Step 3:
When dividing 272 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 240 from 272 to get 32.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 326 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
326 divided by 40 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we subtract 320 from 326, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 62 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
62 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 681.0
Subtracting 40 from 62 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 224 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 224 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6815.0
If we subtract 200 from 224, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6815.6
Subtracting 240 from 240 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6815.6
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.

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: 6815.6
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.

The final result is 6815.6 with a remainder of 0.0.
