We divide 178810 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 178810.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 178 by 40, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 160 from 178, we get 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 188 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 160 from 188 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 281 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 281 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 447.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 280 from 281.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 40

On to step 6:
If we divide 10 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4470.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4470.2
Subtracting 80 from 100 leaves us 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 8:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4470.25
Deduct 200 from 200 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4470.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4470.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4470.25 with a remaining 0.0.
