Let's divide 41018865 by 257
We want to divide 41018865 by 257.

Advancing to step 1:
257 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 257

Moving on to step 2:
257 goes into 41 0 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 41 and we're left with 41.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 410 / 257

On to step 3:
410 divided by 257 is 1 with a remainder of 153.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 257 away from 410, we end up with 153.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 153, then carry on: 1531 / 257

On to step 4:
If we divide 1531 by 257, we get 5 and a remainder of 246.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 1285 from 1531 and we're left with 246.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 246, then repeat: 2468 / 257

Moving on to step 5:
The number 257 fits into 2468 9 times, leaving a remainder of 155.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159.0
Deduct 2313 from 2468 and we're left with 155.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 155 and repeat the process: 1558 / 257

Going ahead to step 6:
257 can be fit into 1558 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1596.0
If we subtract 1542 from 1558, we get 16.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 166 / 257

Advancing to step 7:
The number 257 fits into 166 0 times, leaving a remainder of 166.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15960.0
If we subtract 0 from 166, we get 166.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 166 and continue: 1665 / 257

Advancing to step 8:
The number 257 fits into 1665 6 times, leaving a remainder of 123.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159606.0
Subtract 1542 from 1665 to get 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 257 fits into 1230 4 times, leaving a remainder of 202.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159606.4
If we subtract 1028 from 1230, we get 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Step 10:
2020 divided by 257 is 7 with a remainder of 221.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159606.47
Subtracting 1799 from 2020 leaves us with 221.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 2210 by 257, we get 8 with a remainder of 154.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159606.478
If we take 2056 away from 2210, we end up with 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Step 12:
257 goes into 1540 5 times with a remainder of 255.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159606.4785
If we subtract 1285 from 1540, we get 255.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
2550 divided by 257 is 9 with a remainder of 237.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159606.47859
Subtracting 2313 from 2550 leaves us with 237.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
257 goes into 2370 9 times with a remainder of 57.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159606.478599
If we subtract 2313 from 2370, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 159606.478599 with a balance of 5.7e-06.
