Let's divide 713917 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 713917.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 40

On to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 71 and we're left with 31.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 313 / 40

Step 3:
313 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 280 from 313 leaves us with 33.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 339 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 339 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
Subtract 320 from 339 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 191 / 40

Step 5:
The number 40 fits into 191 4 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1784.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 160 from 191.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 40

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 317 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17847.0
If we subtract 280 from 317, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
370 divided by 40 is 9 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17847.9
If we subtract 360 from 370, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17847.92
If we take 80 away from 100, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17847.925
Deduct 200 from 200 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.

Advancing to step 10:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17847.925
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17847.925
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 17847.925 with a remaining 0.0.
