We divide 722844 by 40
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 722844.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
72 divided by 40 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 40 from 72 and we're left with 32.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 322 / 40

On to step 3:
40 can be fit into 322 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 320 away from 322, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
40 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 180.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 284 / 40

On to step 5:
40 can be fit into 284 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1807.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 280 from 284.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
The number 40 fits into 44 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18071.0
If we take 40 away from 44, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
40 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18071.1
Subtract 40 from 40 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.

On to step 8:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18071.1
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18071.1
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 18071.1 with a balance of 0.0.
