851281 ÷ 41 
We want to figure out the number of times 851281 can be divided by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 41

Step 2:
The number 41 fits into 85 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 82 from 85 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 41

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 31 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 312 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
312 divided by 41 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 207.0
Subtracting 287 from 312 leaves us with 25.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 258 / 41

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 258 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2076.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 246 from 258.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 121 / 41

On to step 6:
41 can be fit into 121 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20762.0
If we take 82 away from 121, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
41 goes into 390 9 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20762.9
Subtracting 369 from 390 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 210 by 41, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20762.95
Subtracting 205 from 210 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
50 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20762.951
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 41 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
90 divided by 41 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20762.9512
If we take 82 away from 90, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 80 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20762.95121
Deduct 41 from 80 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 390 by 41, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20762.951219
Deduct 369 from 390 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
41 can be fit into 210 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20762.9512195
Deduct 205 from 210 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 50 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20762.95121951
Subtracting 41 from 50 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20762.95121951 with a balance of 9e-09.
