18762 divided by 40 
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 18762.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 187 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 160 from 187 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 276 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
40 goes into 276 6 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 240 from 276 leaves us with 36.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 362 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 362 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 469.0
Deduct 360 from 362 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
40 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 469.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 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 7:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 469.05
Subtracting 200 from 200 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 469.05
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 469.05
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.

Our division results in 469.05 with a remaining 0.0.
