Let's divide 750242 by 40
We want to figure out the number of times 750242 can be divided by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
40 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 75 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 75 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 75 and we're left with 35.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 350 / 40

Step 3:
40 can be fit into 350 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 320 from 350, we get 30.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 302 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
40 goes into 302 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 187.0
Deduct 280 from 302 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 224 / 40

On to step 5:
When dividing 224 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1875.0
If we take 200 away from 224, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 242 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18756.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 240 from 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18756.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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:
The number 40 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18756.05
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.

Moving on to step 9:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18756.05
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.

On to step 10:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18756.05
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.

After the division, we end up with 18756.05 and a remainder of 0.0.
