462456 divided by 40 
We want to divide 462456 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
40 goes into 46 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 40 from 46, we get 6.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
62 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 40 away from 62, we end up with 22.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 224 / 40

Step 4:
If we divide 224 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 200 from 224.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 245 / 40

Step 5:
40 can be fit into 245 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1156.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 240 from 245.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 56 / 40

On to step 6:
56 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11561.0
Deduct 40 from 56 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11561.4
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.

Advancing to step 8:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11561.4
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11561.4
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.

After the division, we end up with 11561.4 and a remainder of 0.0.
