Let's divide 249472 by 40
Our goal is to divide 249472 by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 40

On to step 2:
40 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 249 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
40 goes into 249 6 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 240 away from 249, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
40 goes into 94 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtracting 80 from 94 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 147 / 40

Step 5:
If we divide 147 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 623.0
Deduct 120 from 147 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 40

Step 6:
If we divide 272 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6236.0
Deduct 240 from 272 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6236.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 320 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6236.8
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.

Moving on to step 9:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6236.8
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6236.8 with a balance of 0.0.
