We're dividing 462475 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 462475 by 40.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 40, we get 0 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.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
46 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 46 to get 6.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 40

On to step 3:
62 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 40 from 62 to get 22.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 224 / 40

Step 4:
224 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 115.0
If we subtract 200 from 224, we get 24.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 40

Step 5:
When dividing 247 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1156.0
Deduct 240 from 247 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 75 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 75 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11561.0
Deduct 40 from 75 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 350 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11561.8
Subtracting 320 from 350 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11561.87
Deduct 280 from 300 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11561.875
If we take 200 away from 200, we end up 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.

Moving on 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: 11561.875
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 11:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11561.875
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.

The final outcome is 11561.875, with a leftover of 0.0.
