We're dividing 896775 by 40 
We want to divide 896775 by 40.

On to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 40

Step 2:
40 can be fit into 89 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 80 from 89.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 40

Step 3:
If we divide 96 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 80 from 96.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 167 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 167 4 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 224.0
Subtracting 160 from 167 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 77 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
40 can be fit into 77 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2241.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 40 from 77.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 375 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
375 divided by 40 is 9 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22419.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 360 from 375.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 40, we get 3 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22419.3
Deduct 120 from 150 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 300 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22419.37
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.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22419.375
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22419.375
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22419.375
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 22419.375 with a balance of 0.0.
