We look at the division of 244846 by 40 
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 244846.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 40

Step 2:
The number 40 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 244 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
40 goes into 244 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 240 from 244 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 40

On to step 4:
48 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 40 from 48 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
84 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 612.0
If we subtract 80 from 84, we get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 46 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6121.0
Subtract 40 from 46 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6121.1
If we take 40 away from 60, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6121.15
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6121.15
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6121.15
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.

The final result is 6121.15 with a remainder of 0.0.
