Let's divide 774204 by 40
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 774204.

Step 1:
7 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
77 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 77 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 374 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
40 can be fit into 374 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 360 from 374 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 40

On to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 142 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 193.0
Deduct 120 from 142 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 220 / 40

Step 5:
40 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1935.0
If we take 200 away from 220, we end up with 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 204 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19355.0
If we take 200 away from 204, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
40 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19355.1
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 40 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 19355.1
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19355.1
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 19355.1 with a remainder of 0.0.
