98557234 divided by 40 
Our goal is to divide 98557234 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 40

On to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 80 from 98 to get 18.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 185 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
40 can be fit into 185 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 160 from 185 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 255 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
40 goes into 255 6 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 246.0
Subtract 240 from 255 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 157 by 40, we get 3 with a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2463.0
If we take 120 away from 157, we end up with 37.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 372 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
40 goes into 372 9 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 24639.0
Deduct 360 from 372 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 123 / 40

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 123 by 40, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 246393.0
If we subtract 120 from 123, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 40

Advancing to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 34 0 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2463930.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2463930.8
Deduct 320 from 340 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2463930.85
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.

Step 11:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2463930.85
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2463930.85
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 outcome is 2463930.85, with a leftover of 0.0.
