We look at the division of 984422 by 40 
We want to divide 984422 by 40.

On to step 1:
40 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 80 away from 98, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 184 / 40

Step 3:
When dividing 184 by 40, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 160 away from 184, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 244 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 244 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 246.0
Subtracting 240 from 244 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 42 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2461.0
Subtract 40 from 42 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
40 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24610.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
40 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24610.5
If we take 200 away from 220, we end up 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:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24610.55
If we take 200 away from 200, 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.

The final result is 24610.55 with a remainder of 0.0.
