304556 divided by 40 
We want to figure out the number of times 304556 can be divided by 40.

Moving on to step 1:
40 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 40 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 304 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
304 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 280 away from 304, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 245 / 40

Let's proceed to step 4:
40 goes into 245 6 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtracting 240 from 245 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 40

Moving on to step 5:
40 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 761.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 40 from 55.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 156 / 40

On to step 6:
When dividing 156 by 40, we get 3 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7613.0
Deduct 120 from 156 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 40, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7613.9
If we subtract 360 from 360, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7613.9
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.

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: 7613.9
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 7613.9 with a balance of 0.0.
