We divide 271277 by 40
The aim is to understand the frequency of 40 in 271277.

Going ahead to step 1:
40 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
27 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 271 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
40 goes into 271 6 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 240 from 271 leaves us with 31.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 312 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 312 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
Subtract 280 from 312 to get 32.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 40

Step 5:
40 can be fit into 327 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 678.0
Subtracting 320 from 327 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
77 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6781.0
Deduct 40 from 77 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
40 can be fit into 370 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6781.9
If we take 360 away from 370, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6781.92
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 80 from 100.
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:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6781.925
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6781.925
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6781.925
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.

The final outcome is 6781.925, with a leftover of 0.0.
