We're dividing 272024 by 40 
We want to divide 272024 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
40 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 272 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 272 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 240 away from 272, we end up with 32.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 320 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
320 divided by 40 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we take 320 away from 320, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 40

Step 5:
40 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 680.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 40

On to step 6:
When dividing 24 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6800.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6800.6
Subtracting 240 from 240 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6800.6
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.

Advancing to step 9:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6800.6
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 6800.6 and a remainder of 0.0.
