We divide 138538 by 41
Let's see how many times 41 fits into 138538.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 41 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 13 / 41

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 13 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 13, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 41

Step 3:
If we divide 138 by 41, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 123 from 138 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 155 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
41 can be fit into 155 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 123 from 155 leaves us with 32.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 323 / 41

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 41 fits into 323 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 337.0
If we take 287 away from 323, we end up with 36.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 368 / 41

Advancing to step 6:
368 divided by 41 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3378.0
If we subtract 328 from 368, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 7:
400 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3378.9
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 369 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 310 by 41, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3378.97
If we take 287 away from 310, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
230 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3378.975
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 205 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 10:
41 goes into 250 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3378.9756
If we take 246 away from 250, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 41 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3378.9756
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
41 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3378.975609
If we take 369 away from 400, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
310 divided by 41 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3378.9756097
Subtracting 287 from 310 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 230 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3378.97560975
Subtract 205 from 230 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3378.97560975, and the remainder is 2.5e-08.
