265720 divided by 40 
We want to divide 265720 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 265 / 40

Step 3:
When dividing 265 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 240 from 265 to get 25.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 257 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 257 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 17.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 66.0
If we take 240 away from 257, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 172 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 172 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 664.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 160 from 172.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 120 / 40

Step 6:
40 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6643.0
Deduct 120 from 120 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 7:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6643.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6643.0
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 quotient of the division is 6643.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
