118499 divided by 40 
We want to divide 118499 by 40.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 40

Step 2:
40 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 40

Step 3:
40 can be fit into 118 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 80 from 118.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 384 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 384 by 40, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 360 from 384 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 40

Step 5:
The number 40 fits into 249 6 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 296.0
Subtracting 240 from 249 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 40

Step 6:
40 goes into 99 2 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2962.0
Subtract 80 from 99 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2962.4
Subtracting 160 from 190 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2962.47
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.

Advancing to step 9:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2962.475
If we take 200 away from 200, 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 10:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2962.475
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2962.475
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.

The quotient of the division is 2962.475, and the remainder is 0.0.
