708628 ÷ 40 
We want to figure out the number of times 708628 can be divided by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 40

Step 2:
When dividing 70 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 70 and we're left with 30.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 308 / 40

Going ahead to step 3:
40 can be fit into 308 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 280 from 308 to get 28.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 286 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
40 goes into 286 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtracting 280 from 286 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 62 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1771.0
Subtract 40 from 62 to get 22.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 228 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 228 by 40, we get 5 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17715.0
If we take 200 away from 228, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17715.7
Deduct 280 from 280 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 8:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17715.7
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.

Advancing to step 9:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17715.7
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.

After the division, we end up with 17715.7 and a remainder of 0.0.
