We divide 247493 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 247493.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 40

On to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 247 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
40 goes into 247 6 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 240 from 247 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 40

On to step 4:
74 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 40 from 74.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 349 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
349 divided by 40 is 8 with a remainder of 29.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 618.0
If we take 320 away from 349, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 293 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 293 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6187.0
Subtract 280 from 293 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 130 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6187.3
Subtract 120 from 130 to get 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:
40 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6187.32
If we take 80 away from 100, we end up 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6187.325
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:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6187.325
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6187.325
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.

Our division results in 6187.325 with a remaining 0.0.
