Let's divide 532873 by 41
We want to figure out the number of times 532873 can be divided by 41.

On to step 1:
41 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 41

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 53 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 41 away from 53, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 122 / 41

Moving on to step 3:
122 divided by 41 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 82 from 122.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 408 / 41

Moving on to step 4:
41 can be fit into 408 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 129.0
Deduct 369 from 408 and we're left with 39.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 397 / 41

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 397 by 41, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1299.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 369 from 397.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 283 / 41

On to step 6:
If we divide 283 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12996.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 246 from 283.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 41 fits into 370 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12996.9
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.

Step 8:
The number 41 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12996.9
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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 9:
The number 41 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12996.902
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 41, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12996.9024
If we take 164 away from 180, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 160 by 41, we get 3 and a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12996.90243
Subtracting 123 from 160 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
41 goes into 370 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12996.902439
If we take 369 away from 370, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 10 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12996.902439
If we subtract 0 from 10, we 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12996.90243902
If we subtract 82 from 100, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12996.90243902, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
