714953 divided by 40 
We want to figure out the number of times 714953 can be divided by 40.

On to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 71 and we're left with 31.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 314 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 314 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 280 away from 314, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 349 / 40

Step 4:
If we divide 349 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 29.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 178.0
Subtracting 320 from 349 leaves us with 29.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 295 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 295 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1787.0
If we take 280 away from 295, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 153 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
40 goes into 153 3 times with a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17873.0
Subtracting 120 from 153 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 can be fit into 330 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17873.8
If we subtract 320 from 330, 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.

Step 8:
100 divided by 40 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17873.82
Subtract 80 from 100 to get 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:
The number 40 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17873.825
Subtracting 200 from 200 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.

On to step 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17873.825
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.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17873.825
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.

After the division, we end up with 17873.825 and a remainder of 0.0.
