Let's divide 551337 by 40
We want to divide 551337 by 40.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
40 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 55, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 151 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
40 goes into 151 3 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 120 from 151 and we're left with 31.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 313 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 313 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 137.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 280 from 313.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 333 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 333 8 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1378.0
Deduct 320 from 333 and we're left with 13.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 137 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
137 divided by 40 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13783.0
Deduct 120 from 137 and we're left with 17.
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:
170 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13783.4
Subtract 160 from 170 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:
40 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13783.42
Subtracting 80 from 100 leaves us 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 9:
The number 40 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13783.425
Deduct 200 from 200 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13783.425
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13783.425
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.

The final outcome is 13783.425, with a leftover of 0.0.
