We look at the division of 980855 by 40 
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 980855.

Going ahead to step 1:
40 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 40

Step 2:
98 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 80 from 98 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 180 / 40

Step 3:
When dividing 180 by 40, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 160 from 180, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 40

On to step 4:
208 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 8.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 245.0
If we subtract 200 from 208, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 85 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2452.0
Subtract 80 from 85 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 55 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24521.0
Deduct 40 from 55 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24521.3
Subtracting 120 from 150 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:
The number 40 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 24521.37
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.

On to step 9:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 24521.375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24521.375
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24521.375
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 24521.375 with a balance of 0.0.
