We divide 986456 by 41
Our goal is to divide 986456 by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
41 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 41

Moving on to step 2:
41 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 82 from 98.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 41

Step 3:
If we divide 166 by 41, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 164 from 166 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
24 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 240.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 245 / 41

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 245 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2405.0
If we take 205 away from 245, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 406 / 41

Advancing to step 6:
The number 41 fits into 406 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24059.0
Subtracting 369 from 406 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 370 by 41, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 24059.9
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.

Step 8:
41 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24059.9
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 41, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24059.902
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:
The number 41 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24059.9024
Subtract 164 from 180 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
41 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24059.90243
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.

Moving on to step 12:
370 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24059.902439
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.

Advancing to step 13:
41 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24059.902439
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 41, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 24059.90243902
If we take 82 away from 100, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 24059.90243902, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
