We divide 35246 by 40
We want to divide 35246 by 40.

Step 1:
The number 40 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 0 from 35.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 352 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 352 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 320 from 352.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 324 / 40

On to step 4:
If we divide 324 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Deduct 320 from 324 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 40

On to step 5:
If we divide 46 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 881.0
If we take 40 away from 46, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 60 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 881.1
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 40 from 60.
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 7:
The number 40 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 881.15
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 881.15
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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 881.15
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.

After the division, we end up with 881.15 and a remainder of 0.0.
