We look at the division of 262891 by 40 
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 262891.

On to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 262 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
40 goes into 262 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 240 from 262 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 228 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 228 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 28.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 200 from 228.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 289 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 657.0
Deduct 280 from 289 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 91 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
40 can be fit into 91 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6572.0
If we take 80 away from 91, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
40 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6572.2
If we subtract 80 from 110, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
40 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6572.27
Subtract 280 from 300 to 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6572.275
If we subtract 200 from 200, 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 10:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6572.275
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6572.275
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6572.275 with a balance of 0.0.
