983629 ÷ 40 
Our goal is to divide 983629 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 80 from 98 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 183 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 183 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 23.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 160 from 183 and we're left with 23.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 236 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 236 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 245.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 200 from 236.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 362 / 40

On to step 5:
40 can be fit into 362 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2459.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 360 from 362.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
29 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24590.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24590.7
Subtracting 280 from 290 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 24590.72
Deduct 80 from 100 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24590.725
If we take 200 away from 200, 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.

On to step 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24590.725
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.

Step 11:
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: 24590.725
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 24590.725 with a balance of 0.0.
