We divide 20848 by 40
We want to divide 20848 by 40.

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 (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 208 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 208 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 200 away from 208, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
40 goes into 84 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we take 80 away from 84, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 40

On to step 5:
If we divide 48 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 521.0
If we subtract 40 from 48, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
40 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 521.2
Subtracting 80 from 80 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 7:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 521.2
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.

On to step 8:
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: 521.2
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 521.2 with a remainder of 0.0.
