We divide 251869 by 40
Our goal is to divide 251869 by 40.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 40

On to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 251 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 251 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 240 from 251 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 118 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
40 can be fit into 118 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtracting 80 from 118 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 386 / 40

On to step 5:
When dividing 386 by 40, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 629.0
If we take 360 away from 386, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 269 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
40 goes into 269 6 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6296.0
Subtract 240 from 269 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 290 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6296.7
Deduct 280 from 290 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6296.72
If we subtract 80 from 100, we get 20.
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 9:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6296.725
Subtract 200 from 200 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.

On to step 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6296.725
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6296.725
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.

After the division, we end up with 6296.725 and a remainder of 0.0.
