Let's divide 966453 by 40
Our goal is to divide 966453 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 96 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 80 away from 96, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 166 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 166 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 160 from 166 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 64 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 241.0
Subtract 40 from 64 to get 24.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 245 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
40 goes into 245 6 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2416.0
Deduct 240 from 245 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 40

Step 6:
53 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24161.0
Subtract 40 from 53 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 130 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24161.3
If we take 120 away from 130, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24161.32
If we subtract 80 from 100, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24161.325
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24161.325
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24161.325
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

The quotient of the division is 24161.325, and the remainder is 0.0.
