We're dividing 472246 by 40 
We want to figure out the number of times 472246 can be divided by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 40

Step 2:
40 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 47 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 40 from 72 and we're left with 32.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 322 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
40 can be fit into 322 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we subtract 320 from 322, we get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
40 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1180.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 246 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
40 goes into 246 6 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11806.0
If we take 240 away from 246, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
40 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11806.1
Subtracting 40 from 60 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11806.15
If we take 200 away from 200, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 11806.15
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11806.15
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.

Our division results in 11806.15 with a remaining 0.0.
