74898 divided by 40 
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 74898.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 40

On to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 40 from 74.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 348 / 40

On to step 3:
If we divide 348 by 40, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 320 from 348 to get 28.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 289 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 187.0
Deduct 280 from 289 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 40

Step 5:
40 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1872.0
Subtracting 80 from 98 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 6:
40 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1872.4
Deduct 160 from 180 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1872.45
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1872.45
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.

On to step 9:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1872.45
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.

Our division results in 1872.45 with a remaining 0.0.
