Let's divide 687302 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 687302.

Moving on to step 1:
40 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 40

On to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 68 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
287 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 280 from 287, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 73 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtract 40 from 73 to get 33.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 330 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 330 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1718.0
Deduct 320 from 330 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 102 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 102 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17182.0
Subtract 80 from 102 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17182.5
Subtracting 200 from 220 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.

Step 8:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17182.55
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.

After the division, we end up with 17182.55 and a remainder of 0.0.
