We look at the division of 293497 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 293497 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 40

Step 2:
40 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 293 / 40

On to step 3:
40 can be fit into 293 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 280 from 293 leaves us with 13.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 134 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 134 by 40, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 73.0
Deduct 120 from 134 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 149 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 733.0
If we take 120 away from 149, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 297 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
297 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7337.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 280 from 297.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 170 by 40, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7337.4
If we take 160 away from 170, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7337.42
Deduct 80 from 100 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.

Moving on to step 9:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7337.425
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7337.425
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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 11:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7337.425
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.

The quotient of the division is 7337.425, and the remainder is 0.0.
