We look at the division of 156250 by 40 
We want to divide 156250 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 156 / 40

Step 3:
When dividing 156 by 40, we get 3 with a remainder of 36.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 120 from 156 and we're left with 36.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 362 / 40

Step 4:
If we divide 362 by 40, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 360 from 362.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 40

On to step 5:
If we divide 25 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 390.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 250 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
40 goes into 250 6 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3906.0
Subtracting 240 from 250 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3906.2
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 80 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3906.25
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.

Advancing to step 9:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3906.25
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Step 10:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3906.25
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.

The final outcome is 3906.25, with a leftover of 0.0.
