Let's divide 474896 by 40
We want to divide 474896 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 40

Step 2:
47 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 47 to get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
40 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 40 from 74 leaves us with 34.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 348 / 40

Step 4:
40 can be fit into 348 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118.0
Deduct 320 from 348 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
289 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1187.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 280 from 289.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 96 / 40

Step 6:
96 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11872.0
Deduct 80 from 96 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.

On to step 7:
160 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11872.4
If we take 160 away from 160, 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.

On to step 8:
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: 11872.4
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11872.4
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 11872.4 with a remaining 0.0.
