Let's divide 875297 by 40
We want to divide 875297 by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
87 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 80 from 87, we get 7.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 75 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 75 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 40 away from 75, we end up with 35.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 352 / 40

On to step 4:
When dividing 352 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 218.0
Subtract 320 from 352 to get 32.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 329 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 329 8 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2188.0
Subtract 320 from 329 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 40

Step 6:
If we divide 97 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21882.0
Subtract 80 from 97 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 170 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21882.4
If we take 160 away from 170, 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: 21882.42
If we take 80 away from 100, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21882.425
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
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.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21882.425
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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 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: 21882.425
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.

After the division, we end up with 21882.425 and a remainder of 0.0.
