We look at the division of 40900 by 41 
We're looking to find how many times 41 goes into 40900.

Moving on to step 1:
41 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
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 41

Let's proceed to step 2:
40 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 409 / 41

On to step 3:
409 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 40.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 369 from 409.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 400 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 400 by 41, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 369 from 400.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 310 / 41

Step 5:
The number 41 fits into 310 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 997.0
If we subtract 287 from 310, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
41 goes into 230 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 997.5
If we take 205 away from 230, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 997.56
Subtracting 246 from 250 leaves us 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 8:
41 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 997.56
If we subtract 0 from 40, 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 9:
400 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 997.5609
If we subtract 369 from 400, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 10:
41 can be fit into 310 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 997.56097
Subtract 287 from 310 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 230 by 41, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 997.560975
If we take 205 away from 230, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 41 fits into 250 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 997.5609756
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 13:
The number 41 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 997.5609756
If we subtract 0 from 40, 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.

Our division results in 997.5609756 with a remaining 4e-08.
