682456 ÷ 40 
We want to divide 682456 by 40.

On to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 40

On to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 68 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 282 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
40 can be fit into 282 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 280 from 282 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 40

On to step 4:
If we divide 24 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 170.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 245 / 40

Step 5:
245 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1706.0
If we subtract 240 from 245, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
40 can be fit into 56 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17061.0
Subtract 40 from 56 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17061.4
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 160 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17061.4
If we take 0 away from 0, 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 9:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17061.4
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17061.4 with a balance of 0.0.
