We divide 714635 by 40
We want to divide 714635 by 40.

Step 1:
The number 40 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 40

On to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 40 from 71 to get 31.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 40

Step 3:
When dividing 314 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 280 away from 314, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 346 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 346 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 178.0
Subtract 320 from 346 to get 26.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 263 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 263 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 23.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1786.0
If we subtract 240 from 263, we get 23.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 235 / 40

On to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 235 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17865.0
If we subtract 200 from 235, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 350 by 40, we get 8 with a remainder of 30.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17865.8
If we subtract 320 from 350, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 300 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17865.87
If we take 280 away from 300, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 40, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17865.875
Deduct 200 from 200 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17865.875
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.

On to step 11:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17865.875
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.

The final result is 17865.875 with a remainder of 0.0.
