116778 divided by 40 
Our goal is to divide 116778 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 11 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 116 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 116 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 80 from 116 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 367 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
40 can be fit into 367 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 360 from 367 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
40 can be fit into 77 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 291.0
Subtracting 40 from 77 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 40

On to step 6:
When dividing 378 by 40, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2919.0
Deduct 360 from 378 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 180 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2919.4
Subtracting 160 from 180 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2919.45
Subtract 200 from 200 to 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 9:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2919.45
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

On to step 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2919.45
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.

Our division results in 2919.45 with a remaining 0.0.
