We look at the division of 308298 by 40 
We want to figure out the number of times 308298 can be divided by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
40 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 308 7 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 280 from 308 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 282 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
282 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 77.0
Subtract 280 from 282 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
29 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 770.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 298 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
40 can be fit into 298 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7707.0
If we subtract 280 from 298, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7707.4
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 160 from 180.
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:
The number 40 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7707.45
Deduct 200 from 200 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7707.45
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7707.45
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.

The final result is 7707.45 with a remainder of 0.0.
