Let's divide 969371 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 969371.

Let's proceed to step 1:
40 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 40

On to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 96 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 80 from 96 leaves us with 16.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 40

On to step 3:
40 can be fit into 169 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 160 from 169 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 93 / 40

On to step 4:
If we divide 93 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 242.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 80 from 93.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 40

Step 5:
40 goes into 137 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2423.0
If we take 120 away from 137, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 40

On to step 6:
40 goes into 171 4 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24234.0
Subtract 160 from 171 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24234.2
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 80 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24234.27
Subtract 280 from 300 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24234.275
Subtract 200 from 200 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24234.275
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.

Step 11:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24234.275
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 24234.275 with a balance of 0.0.
