We're dividing 707829 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 707829 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
70 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 70, we end up with 30.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 307 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
307 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 280 from 307 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 40

On to step 4:
278 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtract 240 from 278 to get 38.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 382 / 40

On to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 382 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1769.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 360 from 382.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
40 can be fit into 229 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17695.0
If we subtract 200 from 229, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
290 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17695.7
If we take 280 away from 290, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17695.72
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 80 from 100.
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:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17695.725
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.

Advancing to step 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17695.725
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:
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: 17695.725
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 17695.725 with a remaining 0.0.
