We're dividing 642148 by 41 
We want to divide 642148 by 41.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 41

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 64 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 41 from 64.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 232 / 41

Let's proceed to step 3:
232 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 205 away from 232, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 271 / 41

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 271 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 25.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 156.0
If we take 246 away from 271, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 254 / 41

On to step 5:
41 can be fit into 254 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1566.0
Subtracting 246 from 254 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 88 by 41, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15662.0
If we take 82 away from 88, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
41 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15662.1
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 41 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
41 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 15662.14
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15662.146
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 140 by 41, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15662.1463
Subtract 123 from 140 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 11:
41 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15662.14634
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 41 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15662.146341
Deduct 41 from 60 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
190 divided by 41 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15662.1463414
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 164 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
41 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15662.14634146
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.

The final result is 15662.14634146 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
