We divide 261152 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 261152.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
26 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
261 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 240 from 261 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 211 / 40

On to step 4:
When dividing 211 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 11.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 65.0
Deduct 200 from 211 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 115 / 40

Step 5:
If we divide 115 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 652.0
Subtract 80 from 115 to get 35.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 352 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 352 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6528.0
If we take 320 away from 352, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6528.8
Subtracting 320 from 320 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6528.8
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6528.8
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.

The final outcome is 6528.8, with a leftover of 0.0.
