We divide 715751 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 715751.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 40

Step 2:
When dividing 71 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 40 from 71.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 315 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 315 7 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 280 from 315 leaves us with 35.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 357 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
40 can be fit into 357 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178.0
Deduct 320 from 357 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 375 / 40

On to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 375 9 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1789.0
Subtracting 360 from 375 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 151 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 151 by 40, we get 3 and a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17893.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 120 from 151.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17893.7
Subtracting 280 from 310 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
300 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17893.77
Subtract 280 from 300 to 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.

The final result is 17893.77 with a remainder of 0.02.
