We divide 901694 by 40
Our goal is to divide 901694 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 90 / 40

On to step 2:
When dividing 90 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 80 away from 90, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 101 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 101 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 21.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we subtract 80 from 101, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 216 / 40

Step 4:
216 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 225.0
If we subtract 200 from 216, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 169 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2254.0
If we take 160 away from 169, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 94 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
40 goes into 94 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22542.0
If we subtract 80 from 94, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
140 divided by 40 is 3 with a remainder of 20.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22542.3
Deduct 120 from 140 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22542.35
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 22542.35
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22542.35
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 22542.35 with a balance of 0.0.
