We're dividing 573677 by 40 
We want to divide 573677 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 57 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 57 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 40

Step 3:
40 goes into 173 4 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 160 from 173 leaves us with 13.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 136 / 40

On to step 4:
40 can be fit into 136 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 143.0
If we subtract 120 from 136, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 167 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1434.0
Deduct 160 from 167 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 40

Step 6:
40 goes into 77 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14341.0
Subtracting 40 from 77 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 goes into 370 9 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14341.9
Subtracting 360 from 370 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14341.92
Subtract 80 from 100 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14341.925
Deduct 200 from 200 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:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14341.925
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.

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: 14341.925
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 14341.925 with a balance of 0.0.
