Let's divide 512230 by 41
We want to divide 512230 by 41.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 41

On to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 41 from 51, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 102 / 41

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 102 by 41, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 82 away from 102, we end up with 20.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 202 / 41

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 41 fits into 202 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 124.0
Subtract 164 from 202 to get 38.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 383 / 41

Advancing to step 5:
41 goes into 383 9 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1249.0
Subtract 369 from 383 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 41

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 41 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12493.0
Subtracting 123 from 140 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
170 divided by 41 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12493.4
Subtracting 164 from 170 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12493.41
Deduct 41 from 60 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
41 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12493.414
Subtract 164 from 190 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
41 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12493.4146
Subtracting 246 from 260 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
41 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12493.41463
Deduct 123 from 140 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 170 by 41, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12493.414634
If we take 164 away from 170, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 60 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12493.4146341
Subtract 41 from 60 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12493.41463414
If we take 164 away from 190, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12493.41463414 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
