We divide 601558 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 601558.

Step 1:
The number 40 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 40

Step 2:
60 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 60 leaves us with 20.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 201 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 201 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 200 away from 201, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 15 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 150.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 155 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 155 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1503.0
Subtract 120 from 155 to get 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 358 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15038.0
Subtracting 320 from 358 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15038.9
Deduct 360 from 380 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.

On to step 8:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15038.95
If we subtract 200 from 200, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15038.95
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 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15038.95
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.

Our division results in 15038.95 with a remaining 0.0.
