We divide 497072 by 41
Our goal is to divide 497072 by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 41

Let's proceed to step 2:
41 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 41 from 49 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 41

Step 3:
If we divide 87 by 41, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 82 from 87 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
41 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtract 41 from 50 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 41

Advancing to step 5:
The number 41 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1212.0
If we subtract 82 from 97, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 152 / 41

Step 6:
The number 41 fits into 152 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12123.0
Subtracting 123 from 152 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 7:
When dividing 290 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12123.7
If we subtract 287 from 290, we get 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 8:
30 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12123.7
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 41 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12123.707
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 130 by 41, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12123.7073
If we take 123 away from 130, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
41 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12123.70731
Deduct 41 from 70 and we're left 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.

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: 12123.707317
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:
The number 41 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12123.707317
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
41 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12123.70731707
Deduct 287 from 300 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12123.70731707 with a balance of 1.3e-08.
