We look at the division of 590916 by 40 
We want to figure out the number of times 590916 can be divided by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 40

On to step 2:
If we divide 59 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 40 from 59, we get 19.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 190 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
40 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 160 from 190 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 309 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
309 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 147.0
If we subtract 280 from 309, we get 29.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 291 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
291 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1477.0
Subtracting 280 from 291 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
116 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14772.0
If we subtract 80 from 116, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 40, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14772.9
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 360 from 360.
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 8:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14772.9
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14772.9
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.

Our division results in 14772.9 with a remaining 0.0.
