Let's divide 696745 by 40
The aim is to understand the frequency of 40 in 696745.

Going ahead to step 1:
40 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 40

Step 2:
40 can be fit into 69 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 69, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 296 / 40

Step 3:
40 can be fit into 296 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 280 from 296 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 40

On to step 4:
40 can be fit into 167 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 160 from 167 to get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 74 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1741.0
Subtracting 40 from 74 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 345 / 40

On to step 6:
When dividing 345 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17418.0
If we take 320 away from 345, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 250 6 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17418.6
If we subtract 240 from 250, we 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.

On to step 8:
100 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17418.62
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.

Step 9:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17418.625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17418.625
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.

Step 11:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17418.625
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17418.625 with a balance of 0.0.
