We look at the division of 343422 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 343422 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
40 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 34 0 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 34 and we're left with 34.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 343 / 40

Step 3:
The number 40 fits into 343 8 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 320 from 343.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 234 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 234 5 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 200 from 234 to get 34.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 342 / 40

Step 5:
If we divide 342 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 858.0
Subtracting 320 from 342 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 222 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
40 can be fit into 222 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8585.0
If we subtract 200 from 222, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
220 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8585.5
If we subtract 200 from 220, we 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8585.55
If we subtract 200 from 200, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8585.55 with a balance of 0.0.
