If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
59 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 40 from 59.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 192 / 40

Step 3:
When dividing 192 by 40, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 160 from 192 and we're left with 32.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 329 8 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148.0
Subtract 320 from 329 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 40

On to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1482.0
If we subtract 80 from 98, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
40 goes into 188 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14824.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 160 from 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 280 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14824.7
Deduct 280 from 280 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:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14824.7
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14824.7
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.

Our division results in 14824.7 with a remaining 0.0.
