We're dividing 46555 by 40 
We want to divide 46555 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 40

On to step 2:
40 goes into 46 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 46 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
65 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 40 from 65, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 255 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 255 6 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 116.0
If we take 240 away from 255, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 155 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
40 goes into 155 3 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1163.0
Subtract 120 from 155 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
350 divided by 40 is 8 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1163.8
If we take 320 away from 350, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1163.87
Subtracting 280 from 300 leaves us 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.

Going ahead 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: 1163.875
Subtracting 200 from 200 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.

Step 9:
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: 1163.875
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1163.875
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Our division results in 1163.875 with a remaining 0.0.
