We divide 701849 by 40
Our goal is to divide 701849 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
40 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 70, we end up with 30.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 301 / 40

Step 3:
40 can be fit into 301 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 280 from 301, we get 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
40 goes into 218 5 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 175.0
Subtract 200 from 218 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 184 by 40, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1754.0
Subtracting 160 from 184 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
40 can be fit into 249 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17546.0
Deduct 240 from 249 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
90 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17546.2
Deduct 80 from 90 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17546.22
If we take 80 away from 100, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 17546.22, with a leftover of 0.02.
