We're dividing 461812 by 40 
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 461812.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 46 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 46, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 40

On to step 3:
When dividing 61 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 40 from 61 to get 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
40 goes into 218 5 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 115.0
Deduct 200 from 218 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 181 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
181 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 21.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1154.0
Subtract 160 from 181 to get 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
40 goes into 212 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11545.0
If we subtract 200 from 212, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 120 by 40, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11545.3
Subtract 120 from 120 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11545.3
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:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11545.3
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Our division results in 11545.3 with a remaining 0.0.
