18784 ÷ 40 
We're looking to find how many times 40 goes into 18784.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 40

Step 2:
40 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 187 / 40

Let's proceed to step 3:
40 can be fit into 187 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 160 from 187 and we're left with 27.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 278 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
278 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtract 240 from 278 to get 38.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 384 / 40

On to step 5:
The number 40 fits into 384 9 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 469.0
Subtract 360 from 384 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 240 by 40, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 469.6
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 240 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 469.6
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 8:
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: 469.6
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.

After the division, we end up with 469.6 and a remainder of 0.0.
