452956 divided by 40 
Our goal is to divide 452956 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
40 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 45 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 40 from 45.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 40

On to step 3:
When dividing 52 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 40 away from 52, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
129 divided by 40 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtract 120 from 129 to get 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 40

On to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 95 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1132.0
Subtract 80 from 95 to get 15.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 156 / 40

Step 6:
40 can be fit into 156 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11323.0
Deduct 120 from 156 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11323.9
If we take 360 away from 360, 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.

Step 8:
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: 11323.9
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11323.9
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.

The final result is 11323.9 with a remainder of 0.0.
