174754 divided by 40 
Our goal is to divide 174754 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
40 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 40

Step 3:
The number 40 fits into 174 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 160 away from 174, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 147 by 40, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtracting 120 from 147 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 275 / 40

On to step 5:
275 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 35.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 436.0
If we take 240 away from 275, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 354 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
354 divided by 40 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4368.0
Deduct 320 from 354 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
340 divided by 40 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4368.8
Subtracting 320 from 340 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4368.85
Subtract 200 from 200 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 9:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4368.85
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4368.85
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 quotient of the division is 4368.85, and the remainder is 0.0.
