We're dividing 471474 by 40 
We want to figure out the number of times 471474 can be divided by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
40 can be fit into 47 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 47 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 40

On to step 3:
If we divide 71 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 40 from 71 to get 31.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
40 goes into 314 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtract 280 from 314 to get 34.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 347 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
40 goes into 347 8 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1178.0
If we subtract 320 from 347, we get 27.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 274 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 274 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11786.0
If we take 240 away from 274, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11786.8
If we subtract 320 from 340, 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.

Step 8:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11786.85
If we subtract 200 from 200, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
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: 11786.85
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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: 11786.85
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 outcome is 11786.85, with a leftover of 0.0.
