We divide 512762 by 40
Our goal is to divide 512762 by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 51 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 112 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 112 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 80 from 112 to get 32.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 327 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 327 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtract 320 from 327 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 76 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1281.0
Subtract 40 from 76 to get 36.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 362 / 40

On to step 6:
40 goes into 362 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12819.0
If we subtract 360 from 362, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
20 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12819.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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 8:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12819.05
Subtract 200 from 200 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.

Advancing to step 9:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12819.05
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.

Advancing to step 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12819.05
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.

The final result is 12819.05 with a remainder of 0.0.
