We divide 681188 by 40
Our goal is to divide 681188 by 40.

On to step 1:
40 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
40 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 68, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
40 can be fit into 281 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 280 from 281 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 40

Step 4:
40 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 170.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 118 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1702.0
Deduct 80 from 118 and we're left with 38.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 388 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
388 divided by 40 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17029.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 360 from 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 40 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17029.7
Subtract 280 from 280 to 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:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17029.7
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:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17029.7
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

Our division results in 17029.7 with a remaining 0.0.
