Let's divide 655877 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 655877.

Moving on to step 1:
6 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 40

On to step 2:
40 can be fit into 65 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 40 from 65.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 255 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 15.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 240 from 255.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 158 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
158 divided by 40 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 163.0
Subtract 120 from 158 to get 38.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 387 / 40

On to step 5:
40 goes into 387 9 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1639.0
Subtract 360 from 387 to get 27.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 277 / 40

On to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 277 6 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16396.0
If we take 240 away from 277, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 40 fits into 370 9 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16396.9
Subtract 360 from 370 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
100 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16396.92
Subtract 80 from 100 to get 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:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16396.925
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 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16396.925
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16396.925
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.

The final result is 16396.925 with a remainder of 0.0.
