986337 divided by 40 
Our goal is to divide 986337 by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 40

On to step 2:
98 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 80 from 98 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 186 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 186 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 160 from 186 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 263 / 40

Step 4:
When dividing 263 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 246.0
Subtracting 240 from 263 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 233 / 40

On to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 233 5 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2465.0
Subtract 200 from 233 to get 33.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 337 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 337 8 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24658.0
If we take 320 away from 337, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
170 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24658.4
If we take 160 away from 170, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 24658.42
Subtracting 80 from 100 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24658.425
If we take 200 away from 200, we end up 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:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24658.425
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.

Step 11:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24658.425
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 24658.425 with a balance of 0.0.
