Let's divide 15848 by 40
Our goal is to divide 15848 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 158 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 120 from 158.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 384 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
40 goes into 384 9 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 360 from 384 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 40

On to step 5:
248 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 396.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 240 from 248.
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:
The number 40 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 396.2
If we take 80 away from 80, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 396.2
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 396.2
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.

Our division results in 396.2 with a remaining 0.0.
