We're dividing 40880 by 85 
We want to figure out the number of times 40880 can be divided by 85.

Going ahead to step 1:
85 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
85 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 408 / 85

On to step 3:
85 can be fit into 408 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 340 from 408 leaves us with 68.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 688 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
688 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 680 from 688 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 80 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
80 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 480.0
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 480.9
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 480.94
Subtract 340 from 350 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 100 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 480.941
Subtract 85 from 100 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 9:
150 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 480.9411
If we subtract 85 from 150, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 480.9411, with a leftover of 0.00065.
