We look at the division of 691905 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 691905 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 40

Step 2:
40 can be fit into 69 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 40 from 69, we get 29.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 291 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
40 goes into 291 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 280 from 291 to get 11.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 40

On to step 4:
40 goes into 119 2 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 172.0
Subtracting 80 from 119 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 390 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 390 by 40, we get 9 and a remainder of 30.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1729.0
Subtract 360 from 390 to get 30.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 305 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 305 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 25.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17297.0
Deduct 280 from 305 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
250 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17297.6
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 240 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17297.62
Subtract 80 from 100 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17297.625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
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 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17297.625
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.

On to step 11:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17297.625
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17297.625 with a balance of 0.0.
