We're dividing 166489 by 41 
We're looking to find how many times 41 goes into 166489.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 41

Step 2:
The number 41 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 41

Going ahead to 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: 4.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 164 from 166.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 24 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 248 / 41

Let's proceed to step 5:
41 goes into 248 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 406.0
Subtract 246 from 248 to get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 41

On to step 6:
41 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4060.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
41 goes into 290 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4060.7
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 287 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
30 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4060.7
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 41 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4060.707
Subtract 287 from 300 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
130 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4060.7073
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 123 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 11:
70 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4060.70731
Subtracting 41 from 70 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
290 divided by 41 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4060.707317
If we take 287 away from 290, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
30 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4060.707317
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 300 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4060.70731707
Subtract 287 from 300 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4060.70731707, with a leftover of 1.3e-08.
