We look at the division of 248875 by 40 
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 248875.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 248 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
40 goes into 248 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 240 from 248.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 40

Step 4:
88 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 80 from 88.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
40 can be fit into 87 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 622.0
Deduct 80 from 87 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 75 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 75 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6221.0
Subtracting 40 from 75 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6221.8
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 320 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
300 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6221.87
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6221.875
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
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 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6221.875
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.

Let's proceed 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: 6221.875
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.

Our division results in 6221.875 with a remaining 0.0.
