We're dividing 636476 by 40 
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 636476.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 40

On to step 2:
40 goes into 63 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 63 to get 23.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 236 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 236 5 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 200 from 236.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 364 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 364 by 40, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we subtract 360 from 364, we get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 40

Step 5:
When dividing 47 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1591.0
If we take 40 away from 47, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 76 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15911.0
If we subtract 40 from 76, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 360 by 40, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15911.9
If we subtract 360 from 360, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15911.9
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.

Step 9:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15911.9
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.

The final result is 15911.9 with a remainder of 0.0.
