Let's divide 462306 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 462306.

Step 1:
The number 40 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 46 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 46 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
40 can be fit into 62 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 40 from 62.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 223 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
223 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 23.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 115.0
Subtract 200 from 223 to get 23.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 230 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 230 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1155.0
Subtracting 200 from 230 leaves us with 30.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 306 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 306 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11557.0
If we subtract 280 from 306, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 260 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11557.6
If we subtract 240 from 260, 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.

Let's proceed 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: 11557.65
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11557.65
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11557.65
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 final outcome is 11557.65, with a leftover of 0.0.
