We divide 608288 by 40
Our goal is to divide 608288 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
60 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 40 from 60.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 40

On to step 3:
If we divide 208 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 200 from 208 to get 8.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 82 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
40 can be fit into 82 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 152.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 80 from 82.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 40

Step 5:
When dividing 28 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1520.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 288 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 288 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15207.0
If we take 280 away from 288, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
40 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15207.2
Subtract 80 from 80 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 8:
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: 15207.2
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15207.2
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 result is 15207.2 with a remainder of 0.0.
