Let's divide 471083 by 40
We want to divide 471083 by 40.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 40 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
40 can be fit into 47 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 40 from 47 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 40

Step 3:
If we divide 71 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 40 from 71, we get 31.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 310 / 40

On to step 4:
The number 40 fits into 310 7 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtract 280 from 310 to get 30.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 308 / 40

On to step 5:
40 can be fit into 308 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1177.0
Subtract 280 from 308 to get 28.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 283 / 40

On to step 6:
When dividing 283 by 40, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11777.0
If we take 280 away from 283, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
30 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11777.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
300 divided by 40 is 7 with a remainder of 20.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11777.07
If we take 280 away from 300, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
40 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11777.075
Deduct 200 from 200 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11777.075
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.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 11777.075
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11777.075 with a balance of 0.0.
