We're dividing 242452 by 41 
We want to figure out the number of times 242452 can be divided by 41.

Step 1:
2 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 41

Advancing to step 2:
41 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 41

Step 3:
242 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 37.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 205 from 242, we get 37.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 374 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
41 goes into 374 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Deduct 369 from 374 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 41

Advancing to step 5:
41 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 591.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 41 from 55.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 142 / 41

Advancing to step 6:
142 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5913.0
If we take 123 away from 142, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
41 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5913.4
Subtracting 164 from 190 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
41 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5913.46
Subtract 246 from 260 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
140 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5913.463
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 123 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 41 fits into 170 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5913.4634
Subtract 164 from 170 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
41 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5913.46341
Subtract 41 from 60 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
190 divided by 41 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5913.463414
If we take 164 away from 190, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 260 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5913.4634146
Subtract 246 from 260 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 41, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5913.46341463
Subtracting 123 from 140 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final result is 5913.46341463 with a remainder of 1.7e-08.
