253471 ÷ 40 
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 253471.

Let's proceed to step 1:
40 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
40 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 253 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
253 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 240 from 253 to get 13.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 134 / 40

On to step 4:
40 can be fit into 134 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 120 from 134.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
40 can be fit into 147 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 633.0
If we take 120 away from 147, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 271 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 271 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 31.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6336.0
If we subtract 240 from 271, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 30.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6336.7
Deduct 280 from 310 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6336.77
Subtract 280 from 300 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6336.77, and the remainder is 0.02.
