Let's divide 601384 by 40
We want to divide 601384 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 60 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
60 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 40 from 60.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 201 / 40

Step 3:
If we divide 201 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 200 from 201.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 13 / 40

Step 4:
13 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 150.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 138 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 138 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1503.0
Subtract 120 from 138 to get 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 184 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15034.0
If we take 160 away from 184, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15034.6
If we take 240 away from 240, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15034.6
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.

Moving on to step 9:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15034.6
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.

Our division results in 15034.6 with a remaining 0.0.
