We're dividing 744573 by 40 
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 744573.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 74 leaves us with 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 344 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 320 from 344 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 245 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 245 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 186.0
Deduct 240 from 245 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 57 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1861.0
Subtract 40 from 57 to get 17.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 173 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
173 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 13.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18614.0
Subtracting 160 from 173 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
40 goes into 130 3 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18614.3
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 120 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18614.32
If we take 80 away from 100, we end up 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 9:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18614.325
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18614.325
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 11:
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: 18614.325
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 18614.325 with a balance of 0.0.
