681875 divided by 40 
Our goal is to divide 681875 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
40 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 40

On to step 2:
68 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 68 to get 28.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 281 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 281 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 280 from 281.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 18 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 170.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 187 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 187 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1704.0
If we subtract 160 from 187, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 275 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 275 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17046.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 240 from 275.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 350 8 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17046.8
If we take 320 away from 350, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
40 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17046.87
Subtract 280 from 300 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17046.875
Subtract 200 from 200 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17046.875
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 11:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17046.875
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.

The final outcome is 17046.875, with a leftover of 0.0.
