Let's divide 472495 by 40
We want to figure out the number of times 472495 can be divided by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
40 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 40

Step 2:
40 can be fit into 47 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 47 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 72 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 40 from 72, we get 32.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 324 / 40

On to step 4:
When dividing 324 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 118.0
Deduct 320 from 324 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
40 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1181.0
If we take 40 away from 49, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 95 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 95 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11812.0
If we subtract 80 from 95, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 30.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11812.3
Deduct 120 from 150 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
300 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11812.37
Subtracting 280 from 300 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11812.375
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 10:
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: 11812.375
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11812.375
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 11812.375, and the remainder is 0.0.
