Let's divide 69042987 by 40
We want to divide 69042987 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
40 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
40 can be fit into 69 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 69 leaves us with 29.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 290 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 290 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 280 from 290.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 104 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
40 goes into 104 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
If we subtract 80 from 104, we get 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 40

Step 5:
When dividing 242 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1726.0
Deduct 240 from 242 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
29 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17260.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 298 / 40

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 298 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 172607.0
If we subtract 280 from 298, we get 18.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 187 / 40

On to step 8:
When dividing 187 by 40, we get 4 with a remainder of 27.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1726074.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 160 from 187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 goes into 270 6 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1726074.6
Subtracting 240 from 270 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
40 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1726074.67
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 280 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1726074.675
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
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 12:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1726074.675
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
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: 1726074.675
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 1726074.675 with a remaining 0.0.
