481637 divided by 40 
Our goal is to divide 481637 by 40.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 48 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 81 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
40 goes into 81 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 80 from 81 to get 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 40

On to step 4:
If we divide 16 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 163 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
40 goes into 163 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1204.0
If we subtract 160 from 163, we get 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 40

On to step 6:
When dividing 37 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12040.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 370 by 40, we get 9 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12040.9
Subtract 360 from 370 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
100 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12040.92
If we subtract 80 from 100, 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.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12040.925
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12040.925
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.

Advancing to step 11:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12040.925
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

After the division, we end up with 12040.925 and a remainder of 0.0.
