We look at the division of 115256 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 115256 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
40 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 40

On to step 2:
11 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 115 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 115 2 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 80 away from 115, we end up with 35.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 352 / 40

Step 4:
If we divide 352 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 320 from 352 leaves us with 32.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 325 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 325 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288.0
Deduct 320 from 325 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
40 can be fit into 56 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2881.0
If we take 40 away from 56, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
40 goes into 160 4 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2881.4
If we subtract 160 from 160, we get 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 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: 2881.4
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.

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: 2881.4
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2881.4 with a balance of 0.0.
