We're dividing 218649 by 41 
Let's see how many times 41 fits into 218649.

Going ahead to step 1:
41 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 41

Advancing to step 2:
41 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 41

Step 3:
The number 41 fits into 218 5 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 205 from 218 to get 13.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 136 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
41 can be fit into 136 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 123 from 136.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 41

Moving on to step 5:
41 goes into 134 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 533.0
Deduct 123 from 134 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 119 / 41

Step 6:
41 goes into 119 2 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5332.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 82 from 119.
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:
The number 41 fits into 370 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5332.9
Subtract 369 from 370 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 10 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5332.9
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 41, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5332.902
Deduct 82 from 100 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
41 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5332.9024
If we subtract 164 from 180, we 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 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5332.90243
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 123 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 41 fits into 370 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5332.902439
Subtracting 369 from 370 leaves us 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:
The number 41 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5332.902439
Subtract 0 from 10 to 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.

Moving on to step 14:
100 divided by 41 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5332.90243902
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 82 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5332.90243902 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
