556285 divided by 40 
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 556285.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
55 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 55 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 156 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
40 can be fit into 156 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 120 away from 156, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 362 / 40

On to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 362 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139.0
Subtracting 360 from 362 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 28 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1390.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 285 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 285 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13907.0
Subtract 280 from 285 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13907.1
If we subtract 40 from 50, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
40 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13907.12
Deduct 80 from 100 and we're left 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:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13907.125
Deduct 200 from 200 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 13907.125
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.

On to step 11:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13907.125
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

The final result is 13907.125 with a remainder of 0.0.
