We divide 691237 by 40
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 691237.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
69 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 69, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 291 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
40 goes into 291 7 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 280 from 291 to get 11.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 112 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
40 can be fit into 112 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 172.0
Subtracting 80 from 112 leaves us with 32.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 323 / 40

On to step 5:
40 goes into 323 8 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1728.0
Deduct 320 from 323 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 37 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17280.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 370 9 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17280.9
Deduct 360 from 370 and we're left with 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 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17280.92
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 80 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17280.925
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:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17280.925
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17280.925
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.

After the division, we end up with 17280.925 and a remainder of 0.0.
