Let's divide 762179 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 762179.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 76 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 76 to get 36.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 362 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
40 can be fit into 362 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 360 from 362, we get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
40 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 190.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 217 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1905.0
Subtracting 200 from 217 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 179 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
179 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 19054.0
Deduct 160 from 179 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19054.4
Subtracting 160 from 190 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:
When dividing 300 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19054.47
If we subtract 280 from 300, 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:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19054.475
Subtracting 200 from 200 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19054.475
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 11:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19054.475
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 19054.475 with a balance of 0.0.
