We divide 727186 by 40
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 727186.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 72 and we're left with 32.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 327 / 40

Step 3:
When dividing 327 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 320 away from 327, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
71 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181.0
Subtract 40 from 71 to get 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 40

On to step 5:
40 goes into 318 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1817.0
Subtract 280 from 318 to get 38.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 386 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
40 goes into 386 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18179.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 360 from 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
40 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18179.6
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 240 from 260.
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 8:
When dividing 200 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18179.65
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 9:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18179.65
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18179.65
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Our division results in 18179.65 with a remaining 0.0.
