Let's divide 746886 by 40
Our goal is to divide 746886 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
40 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 74 leaves us with 34.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 346 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
346 divided by 40 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 320 from 346, we get 26.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 40

On to step 4:
40 can be fit into 268 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 186.0
If we subtract 240 from 268, we get 28.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 288 / 40

Step 5:
When dividing 288 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1867.0
If we take 280 away from 288, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
40 goes into 86 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18672.0
Subtract 80 from 86 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18672.1
If we subtract 40 from 60, we get 20.
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:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18672.15
Subtracting 200 from 200 leaves us 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 9:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18672.15
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18672.15
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 18672.15, and the remainder is 0.0.
