We're dividing 481624 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 481624 by 40.

On to step 1:
40 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 48 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 81 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 80 from 81 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 40

On to step 4:
When dividing 16 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 162 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
40 goes into 162 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1204.0
Subtract 160 from 162 to get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 40

Step 6:
40 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12040.0
If we take 0 away from 24, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12040.6
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 240 from 240.
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 8:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12040.6
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12040.6
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12040.6 with a balance of 0.0.
