508473 ÷ 41 
We want to figure out the number of times 508473 can be divided by 41.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 41

Advancing to step 2:
41 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 41 from 50, we get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 41

On to step 3:
41 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 82 from 98 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 164 / 41

On to step 4:
The number 41 fits into 164 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 124.0
Deduct 164 from 164 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 41

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 7 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1240.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 41

On to step 6:
If we divide 73 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12401.0
Subtract 41 from 73 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 320 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12401.7
If we subtract 287 from 320, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
41 goes into 330 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12401.78
If we take 328 away from 330, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
41 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12401.78
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 41, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12401.7804
If we subtract 164 from 200, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
41 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12401.78048
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12401.780487
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 330 by 41, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12401.7804878
Subtracting 328 from 330 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12401.7804878
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.

The quotient of the division is 12401.7804878, and the remainder is 2e-08.
