We look at the division of 41917372 by 261 
We want to figure out the number of times 41917372 can be divided by 261.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 261, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 41 / 261

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 41 by 261, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 41 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 419 / 261

On to step 3:
261 goes into 419 1 times with a remainder of 158.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 158 after subtracting 261 from 419.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 158 and continue with: 1581 / 261

Step 4:
261 can be fit into 1581 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 1566 from 1581.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 261

Step 5:
When dividing 157 by 261, we get 0 with a remainder of 157.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtracting 0 from 157 leaves us with 157.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 157 and continue: 1573 / 261

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 1573 by 261, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1606.0
Deduct 1566 from 1573 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 77 / 261

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 261 fits into 77 0 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16060.0
Subtract 0 from 77 to get 77.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 772 / 261

Moving on to step 8:
772 divided by 261 is 2 with a remainder of 250.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160602.0
Subtract 522 from 772 to get 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 2500 by 261, we get 9 with a remainder of 151.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160602.9
Deduct 2349 from 2500 and we're left with 151.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1510, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 1510 by 261, we get 5 and a remainder of 205.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160602.95
Subtract 1305 from 1510 to get 205.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2050, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 261 fits into 2050 7 times, leaving a remainder of 223.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 160602.957
The remainder is 223 after subtracting 1827 from 2050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 2230 by 261, we get 8 and a remainder of 142.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160602.9578
The remainder is 142 after subtracting 2088 from 2230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 1420 by 261, we get 5 and a remainder of 115.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 160602.95785
The remainder is 115 after subtracting 1305 from 1420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 1150 by 261, we get 4 with a remainder of 106.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 160602.957854
If we subtract 1044 from 1150, we get 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
261 can be fit into 1060 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160602.9578544
If we take 1044 away from 1060, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 160602.9578544 with a balance of 1.6e-07.
