We divide 776696 by 40
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 776696.

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
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 40

Advancing to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 77 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 77 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 376 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 376 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 360 from 376 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 166 / 40

Step 4:
166 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 194.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 160 from 166.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
40 can be fit into 69 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1941.0
If we take 40 away from 69, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 296 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
40 can be fit into 296 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 19417.0
If we subtract 280 from 296, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
40 goes into 160 4 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19417.4
Subtracting 160 from 160 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 19417.4
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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: 19417.4
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

After the division, we end up with 19417.4 and a remainder of 0.0.
