We're dividing 472246 by 40 
Let's see how many times 40 fits into 472246.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 40

On to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 40 from 47.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
40 goes into 72 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 40 from 72.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 322 / 40

Step 4:
40 can be fit into 322 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we subtract 320 from 322, we get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
40 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1180.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 246 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
40 can be fit into 246 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11806.0
Deduct 240 from 246 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11806.1
Subtract 40 from 60 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
40 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11806.15
If we subtract 200 from 200, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11806.15
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 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11806.15
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.

The final result is 11806.15 with a remainder of 0.0.
