We divide 725256 by 40
Our goal is to divide 725256 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 72 to get 32.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 325 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 325 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 320 from 325 to get 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 40

Step 4:
The number 40 fits into 52 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we take 40 away from 52, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 125 / 40

On to step 5:
When dividing 125 by 40, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1813.0
Subtract 120 from 125 to get 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 40

On to step 6:
When dividing 56 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18131.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 40 from 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
160 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18131.4
If we take 160 away from 160, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 18131.4
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 9:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18131.4
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.

The quotient of the division is 18131.4, and the remainder is 0.0.
