Let's divide 497900 by 41
We want to figure out the number of times 497900 can be divided by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
41 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 41

Advancing to step 2:
The number 41 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 41 from 49 to get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 41

Let's proceed to step 3:
87 divided by 41 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 82 away from 87, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
41 can be fit into 59 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtract 41 from 59 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 180 / 41

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 41 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1214.0
If we take 164 away from 180, we end up with 16.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 160 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
The number 41 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12143.0
Deduct 123 from 160 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
370 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12143.9
Deduct 369 from 370 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 8:
41 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12143.9
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
41 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12143.902
Subtracting 82 from 100 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
41 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12143.9024
If we subtract 164 from 180, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
41 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12143.90243
Deduct 123 from 160 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 370 by 41, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12143.902439
Subtract 369 from 370 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 10 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12143.902439
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
41 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12143.90243902
Deduct 82 from 100 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12143.90243902 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
