We're dividing 634954 by 40 
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 634954.

On to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 63 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 63 to get 23.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 234 / 40

Step 3:
The number 40 fits into 234 5 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 200 from 234.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 349 / 40

Step 4:
349 divided by 40 is 8 with a remainder of 29.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 158.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 320 from 349.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 295 / 40

Step 5:
40 can be fit into 295 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1587.0
Deduct 280 from 295 and we're left with 15.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 154 / 40

Step 6:
If we divide 154 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15873.0
If we take 120 away from 154, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 340 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15873.8
If we take 320 away from 340, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15873.85
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.

Going ahead 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: 15873.85
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.

Advancing to step 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15873.85
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.

The final result is 15873.85 with a remainder of 0.0.
