We look at the division of 146598 by 40 
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 146598.

Advancing to step 1:
40 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 146 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
40 can be fit into 146 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 120 from 146.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 265 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 265 6 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 240 from 265 to get 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 40

On to step 5:
When dividing 259 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 366.0
If we subtract 240 from 259, we get 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 40

Step 6:
If we divide 198 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3664.0
Deduct 160 from 198 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 380 by 40, we get 9 and a remainder of 20.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3664.9
Subtracting 360 from 380 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3664.95
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 200 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
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: 3664.95
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3664.95
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.

Our division results in 3664.95 with a remaining 0.0.
