We look at the division of 484991 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 484991 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
40 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 40 from 48.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
40 can be fit into 84 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 80 from 84 to get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtracting 40 from 49 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 99 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1212.0
Subtract 80 from 99 to get 19.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 191 / 40

On to step 6:
191 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12124.0
If we subtract 160 from 191, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 can be fit into 310 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12124.7
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 280 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
300 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12124.77
Subtracting 280 from 300 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12124.77 with a balance of 0.02.
