We're dividing 116993 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 116993 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 11 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 116 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 80 from 116, we get 36.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 369 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
40 goes into 369 9 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 360 from 369.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 40

Step 5:
99 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 19.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 292.0
If we take 80 away from 99, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 193 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
40 can be fit into 193 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2924.0
If we subtract 160 from 193, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 330 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2924.8
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 320 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
100 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2924.82
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.

Let's proceed 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: 2924.825
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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 2924.825
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2924.825
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.

After the division, we end up with 2924.825 and a remainder of 0.0.
