We're dividing 41698 by 4 
Let's see how many times 4 fits into 41698.

On to step 1:
The number 4 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 4

Moving on to step 2:
1 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 4

On to step 3:
When dividing 16 by 4, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 104.0
Deduct 16 from 16 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 4

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 9 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1042.0
If we subtract 8 from 9, we get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 4

Advancing to step 5:
18 divided by 4 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10424.0
Subtracting 16 from 18 leaves us 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.

On to step 6:
When dividing 20 by 4, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10424.5
If we subtract 20 from 20, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10424.5
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10424.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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 10424.5 with a balance of 0.0.
