Let's divide 740183 by 40
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 740183.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 40, we get 0 and 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.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 40

On to step 2:
40 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 74 to get 34.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 340 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 320 from 340 to get 20.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 201 / 40

On to step 4:
If we divide 201 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 185.0
If we subtract 200 from 201, we get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 18 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1850.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 183 / 40

On to step 6:
40 goes into 183 4 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18504.0
Subtract 160 from 183 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18504.5
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 200 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18504.57
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.

On to step 9:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18504.575
If we subtract 200 from 200, we 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18504.575
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18504.575
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.

Our division results in 18504.575 with a remaining 0.0.
