445896 ÷ 40 
We want to divide 445896 by 40.

On to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
40 goes into 44 1 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 44 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 45 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 40 from 45 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 40

On to step 4:
If we divide 58 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 111.0
Subtract 40 from 58 to get 18.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
189 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1114.0
Deduct 160 from 189 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 296 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
40 can be fit into 296 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11147.0
If we take 280 away from 296, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11147.4
Subtracting 160 from 160 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.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11147.4
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.

On to step 9:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11147.4
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

After the division, we end up with 11147.4 and a remainder of 0.0.
