We look at the division of 41983705 by 987 
Our goal is to divide 41983705 by 987.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 987 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 987

On to step 2:
If we divide 41 by 987, we get 0 and a remainder of 41.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 419 / 987

Advancing to step 3:
987 can be fit into 419 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 419.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 419 leaves us with 419.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 419 and continue: 4198 / 987

Step 4:
The number 987 fits into 4198 4 times, leaving a remainder of 250.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 250 after subtracting 3948 from 4198.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 250, then carry on: 2503 / 987

On to step 5:
The number 987 fits into 2503 2 times, leaving a remainder of 529.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 529 after subtracting 1974 from 2503.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 529, then repeat: 5297 / 987

Moving on to step 6:
987 goes into 5297 5 times with a remainder of 362.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 425.0
The remainder is 362 after subtracting 4935 from 5297.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 362 and repeat the process: 3620 / 987

Let's proceed to step 7:
987 can be fit into 3620 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 659.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4253.0
Subtracting 2961 from 3620 leaves us with 659.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 659, then carry on: 6595 / 987

Going ahead to step 8:
987 can be fit into 6595 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 673.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42536.0
Subtract 5922 from 6595 to get 673.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6730, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
987 can be fit into 6730 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 808.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 42536.6
Subtracting 5922 from 6730 leaves us with 808.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
987 goes into 8080 8 times with a remainder of 184.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42536.68
If we take 7896 away from 8080, we end up with 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Step 11:
1840 divided by 987 is 1 with a remainder of 853.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42536.681
Subtracting 987 from 1840 leaves us with 853.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 8530 by 987, we get 8 and a remainder of 634.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42536.6818
If we take 7896 away from 8530, we end up with 634.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 6340 by 987, we get 6 with a remainder of 418.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42536.68186
If we subtract 5922 from 6340, we get 418.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
987 goes into 4180 4 times with a remainder of 232.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42536.681864
If we take 3948 away from 4180, we end up with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 2320 by 987, we get 2 with a remainder of 346.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42536.6818642
Subtract 1974 from 2320 to get 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 987 fits into 3460 3 times, leaving a remainder of 499.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42536.68186423
Subtract 2961 from 3460 to get 499.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4990, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 42536.68186423 and a remainder of 4.99e-07.
