We're dividing 702591 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 702591 by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
40 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 70 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 70 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 40 from 70, we get 30.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 302 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 302 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 280 from 302, we get 22.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 225 / 40

On to step 4:
If we divide 225 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 175.0
Subtract 200 from 225 to get 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 259 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1756.0
If we take 240 away from 259, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 191 / 40

Let's proceed to step 6:
191 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 31.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17564.0
Subtracting 160 from 191 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
310 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17564.7
If we take 280 away from 310, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
40 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17564.77
Deduct 280 from 300 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.

Our division results in 17564.77 with a remaining 0.02.
