234379 ÷ 40 
Our goal is to divide 234379 by 40.

Step 1:
The number 40 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 40

Step 2:
40 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 234 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
234 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 34.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 200 from 234 leaves us with 34.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 343 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 343 8 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we take 320 away from 343, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 237 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 237 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 37.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 585.0
Subtract 200 from 237 to get 37.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 379 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 379 9 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5859.0
Subtract 360 from 379 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5859.4
Deduct 160 from 190 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5859.47
If we take 280 away from 300, 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.

On to step 9:
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: 5859.475
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:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5859.475
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5859.475
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 outcome is 5859.475, with a leftover of 0.0.
