We look at the division of 687714 by 40 
We want to figure out the number of times 687714 can be divided by 40.

Step 1:
6 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 40

Step 2:
If we divide 68 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 68, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
287 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 280 from 287.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
77 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtracting 40 from 77 leaves us with 37.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 371 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 371 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1719.0
Subtracting 360 from 371 leaves us with 11.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 114 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 114 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17192.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 80 from 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17192.8
If we subtract 320 from 340, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17192.85
Subtract 200 from 200 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.

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: 17192.85
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 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17192.85
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 17192.85, and the remainder is 0.0.
