We look at the division of 698664 by 40 
Our goal is to divide 698664 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
40 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 40

Moving on to step 2:
40 goes into 69 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 40 from 69, we get 29.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 298 / 40

Step 3:
40 goes into 298 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 280 from 298 to get 18.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 186 / 40

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 186 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 160 from 186 to get 26.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 266 / 40

Step 5:
If we divide 266 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 26.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1746.0
If we subtract 240 from 266, we get 26.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
264 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17466.0
Subtracting 240 from 264 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
240 divided by 40 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17466.6
Deduct 240 from 240 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:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17466.6
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17466.6
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.

After the division, we end up with 17466.6 and a remainder of 0.0.
