Let's divide 759788 by 40
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 759788.

Advancing to step 1:
40 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 75 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
40 goes into 75 1 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 75 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 359 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
40 can be fit into 359 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 320 from 359 and we're left with 39.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 397 / 40

On to step 4:
397 divided by 40 is 9 with a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 189.0
If we take 360 away from 397, we end up with 37.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 378 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
378 divided by 40 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1899.0
If we take 360 away from 378, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 40

On to step 6:
If we divide 188 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18994.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 160 from 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 280 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18994.7
Subtracting 280 from 280 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:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18994.7
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.

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: 18994.7
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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 18994.7 with a remaining 0.0.
