We're dividing 717625 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 717625 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
71 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 71, we end up with 31.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 317 / 40

On to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 317 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 280 from 317.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 376 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
376 divided by 40 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 179.0
Subtracting 360 from 376 leaves us with 16.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 162 / 40

Step 5:
40 goes into 162 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1794.0
Subtract 160 from 162 to get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 40

Step 6:
When dividing 25 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17940.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 goes into 250 6 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17940.6
Subtracting 240 from 250 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17940.62
If we take 80 away from 100, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
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: 17940.625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
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:
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: 17940.625
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17940.625
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 17940.625, with a leftover of 0.0.
