748781 divided by 40 
We want to divide 748781 by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
40 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
40 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 40 from 74, we get 34.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 348 / 40

On to step 3:
When dividing 348 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 320 from 348, we get 28.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 287 / 40

Step 4:
287 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187.0
Subtracting 280 from 287 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 40

Step 5:
When dividing 78 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1871.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 40 from 78.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 381 / 40

On to step 6:
When dividing 381 by 40, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18719.0
If we take 360 away from 381, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
210 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18719.5
Subtract 200 from 210 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18719.52
Deduct 80 from 100 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
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: 18719.525
Deduct 200 from 200 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:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18719.525
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.

On to step 11:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18719.525
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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 final result is 18719.525 with a remainder of 0.0.
