294899 divided by 40 
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 294899.

Advancing to step 1:
40 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 40

Step 2:
If we divide 29 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 294 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
40 can be fit into 294 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 280 from 294 to get 14.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 148 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 148 3 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 120 from 148.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 289 / 40

Step 5:
40 goes into 289 7 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 737.0
If we subtract 280 from 289, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
99 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7372.0
Subtracting 80 from 99 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
40 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7372.4
Deduct 160 from 190 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
300 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7372.47
Subtracting 280 from 300 leaves us 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 9:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7372.475
Subtracting 200 from 200 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.

Moving on to step 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7372.475
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.

Step 11:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7372.475
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

The final result is 7372.475 with a remainder of 0.0.
