We look at the division of 694498 by 40 
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 694498.

Step 1:
If we divide 6 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
40 can be fit into 69 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 69 leaves us with 29.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 294 / 40

On to step 3:
If we divide 294 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 280 from 294.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
40 goes into 144 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 173.0
Subtract 120 from 144 to get 24.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 40

Advancing to 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: 1736.0
Subtracting 240 from 249 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
40 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17362.0
Subtract 80 from 98 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17362.4
If we subtract 160 from 180, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 17362.45
If we subtract 200 from 200, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17362.45
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17362.45
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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 17362.45 with a balance of 0.0.
