We're dividing 585546 by 40 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 40 in 585546.

On to step 1:
40 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 58 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 185 / 40

Step 3:
If we divide 185 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 25.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 160 from 185 and we're left with 25.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 255 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 255 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 15.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 146.0
Deduct 240 from 255 and we're left with 15.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 154 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
40 goes into 154 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1463.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 120 from 154.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 346 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 346 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14638.0
Subtract 320 from 346 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14638.6
If we take 240 away from 260, 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:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14638.65
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:
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: 14638.65
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 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14638.65
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.

After the division, we end up with 14638.65 and a remainder of 0.0.
