674914 divided by 40 
We want to divide 674914 by 40.

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
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 40

On to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 67 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 67 to get 27.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 274 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
40 goes into 274 6 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 240 from 274 leaves us with 34.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 349 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 349 8 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 168.0
Subtract 320 from 349 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 291 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
40 goes into 291 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1687.0
If we take 280 away from 291, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 114 / 40

Moving on to step 6:
40 can be fit into 114 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16872.0
Deduct 80 from 114 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
340 divided by 40 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16872.8
If we take 320 away from 340, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16872.85
Subtract 200 from 200 to 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 9:
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: 16872.85
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 10:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16872.85
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.

Our division results in 16872.85 with a remaining 0.0.
