We look at the division of 156817 by 41 
We want to figure out the number of times 156817 can be divided by 41.

Let's proceed to step 1:
41 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 41

Step 2:
The number 41 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 156 / 41

Advancing to step 3:
The number 41 fits into 156 3 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 123 from 156.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 338 by 41, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 328 from 338, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 101 / 41

Step 5:
If we divide 101 by 41, we get 2 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 382.0
If we take 82 away from 101, we end up with 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 41

Step 6:
41 goes into 197 4 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3824.0
Subtracting 164 from 197 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
41 goes into 330 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3824.8
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 328 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
20 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3824.8
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
41 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3824.804
If we take 164 away from 200, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 360 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3824.8048
Subtract 328 from 360 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3824.80487
Deduct 287 from 320 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
41 can be fit into 330 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3824.804878
Deduct 328 from 330 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3824.804878
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3824.80487804
Deduct 164 from 200 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3824.80487804 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
