Let's divide 445966 by 40
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 445966.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 40

Step 2:
44 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 44 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 45 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 40 from 45 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 40

Step 4:
59 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 111.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 40 from 59.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 196 / 40

On to step 5:
40 goes into 196 4 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1114.0
Deduct 160 from 196 and we're left with 36.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 366 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
366 divided by 40 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11149.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 360 from 366.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
40 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11149.1
If we take 40 away from 60, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11149.15
Deduct 200 from 200 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11149.15
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.

On to step 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11149.15
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 11149.15 with a remaining 0.0.
