We're dividing 41657292 by 987 
We're looking to find how many times 987 goes into 41657292.

Let's proceed to step 1:
987 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 987

Let's proceed to step 2:
987 can be fit into 41 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 416 / 987

Step 3:
If we divide 416 by 987, we get 0 and a remainder of 416.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 416 leaves us with 416.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 416 and continue: 4165 / 987

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 4165 by 987, we get 4 with a remainder of 217.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3948 from 4165 to get 217.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 217, then repeat: 2177 / 987

Step 5:
987 goes into 2177 2 times with a remainder of 203.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 1974 from 2177 leaves us with 203.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 203, then repeat: 2032 / 987

Step 6:
2032 divided by 987 is 2 with a remainder of 58.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 422.0
Subtract 1974 from 2032 to get 58.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 589 / 987

Moving on to step 7:
The number 987 fits into 589 0 times, leaving a remainder of 589.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4220.0
The remainder is 589 after subtracting 0 from 589.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 589, then repeat: 5892 / 987

Step 8:
987 can be fit into 5892 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 957.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 42205.0
If we subtract 4935 from 5892, we get 957.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 9570 by 987, we get 9 with a remainder of 687.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 42205.9
Deduct 8883 from 9570 and we're left with 687.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6870, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
987 goes into 6870 6 times with a remainder of 948.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42205.96
The remainder is 948 after subtracting 5922 from 6870.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
987 goes into 9480 9 times with a remainder of 597.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42205.969
Subtract 8883 from 9480 to get 597.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5970, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
987 goes into 5970 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42205.9696
If we take 5922 away from 5970, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 13:
987 goes into 480 0 times with a remainder of 480.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42205.9696
Deduct 0 from 480 and we're left with 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
987 goes into 4800 4 times with a remainder of 852.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42205.969604
If we take 3948 away from 4800, we end up with 852.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
987 can be fit into 8520 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 624.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42205.9696048
Deduct 7896 from 8520 and we're left with 624.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6240, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
When dividing 6240 by 987, we get 6 with a remainder of 318.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42205.96960486
Deduct 5922 from 6240 and we're left with 318.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 42205.96960486 and a remainder of 3.18e-07.
