We're dividing 711266 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 711266 by 40.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
71 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 71 leaves us with 31.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 311 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
40 can be fit into 311 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 280 from 311 to get 31.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 312 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
40 can be fit into 312 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtract 280 from 312 to get 32.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 326 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
40 can be fit into 326 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1778.0
If we subtract 320 from 326, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 66 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 66 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17781.0
If we take 40 away from 66, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17781.6
Subtracting 240 from 260 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17781.65
If we subtract 200 from 200, 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.

Step 9:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17781.65
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 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17781.65
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 17781.65 with a remaining 0.0.
