868247 divided by 40 
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 868247.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 40

On to step 2:
If we divide 86 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 80 away from 86, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 40

On to step 3:
68 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 40 from 68, we get 28.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 282 / 40

Step 4:
40 can be fit into 282 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217.0
Deduct 280 from 282 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
40 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2170.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
40 can be fit into 247 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21706.0
Subtracting 240 from 247 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21706.1
Deduct 40 from 70 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21706.17
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 280 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21706.175
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21706.175
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.

Going ahead to 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: 21706.175
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.

The quotient of the division is 21706.175, and the remainder is 0.0.
