We're dividing 712861 by 41 
We want to divide 712861 by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
41 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 41

Moving on to step 2:
41 goes into 71 1 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 41 from 71, we get 30.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 302 / 41

Step 3:
41 goes into 302 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 287 from 302 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 41

On to step 4:
158 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 173.0
Subtracting 123 from 158 leaves us with 35.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 356 / 41

Moving on to step 5:
41 goes into 356 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1738.0
Subtracting 328 from 356 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 281 / 41

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 281 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 35.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17386.0
Subtract 246 from 281 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
350 divided by 41 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17386.8
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 328 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17386.85
Deduct 205 from 220 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 150 by 41, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17386.853
If we take 123 away from 150, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 270 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17386.8536
Subtracting 246 from 270 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
41 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17386.85365
Deduct 205 from 240 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
41 goes into 350 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17386.853658
Subtract 328 from 350 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 41 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17386.8536585
Subtracting 205 from 220 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 150 by 41, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17386.85365853
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 123 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17386.85365853, with a leftover of 2.7e-08.
