Let's divide 981824 by 40
We want to figure out the number of times 981824 can be divided by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
40 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
40 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 80 from 98 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 181 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 181 by 40, we get 4 with a remainder of 21.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 160 from 181 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 40

Step 4:
When dividing 218 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 18.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 245.0
Subtracting 200 from 218 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 182 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 182 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2454.0
If we take 160 away from 182, we end up with 22.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 224 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
40 goes into 224 5 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 24545.0
Deduct 200 from 224 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 can be fit into 240 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24545.6
Subtract 240 from 240 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 24545.6
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24545.6
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.

The final outcome is 24545.6, with a leftover of 0.0.
