Let's divide 482253 by 40
We want to divide 482253 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 48 to get 8.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 82 / 40

Step 3:
When dividing 82 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 80 away from 82, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 40

On to step 4:
40 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 225 / 40

Step 5:
225 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1205.0
If we subtract 200 from 225, we get 25.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 253 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 253 6 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12056.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 240 from 253.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 40, we get 3 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12056.3
Subtracting 120 from 130 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.

On to 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: 12056.32
If we subtract 80 from 100, we get 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:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12056.325
Deduct 200 from 200 and we're left 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 10:
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: 12056.325
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:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12056.325
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.

After the division, we end up with 12056.325 and a remainder of 0.0.
