We're dividing 240946 by 41 
We're looking to find how many times 41 goes into 240946.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 41

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 41

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 240 by 41, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 205 from 240.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 359 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
359 divided by 41 is 8 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 328 from 359, we get 31.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 314 / 41

Moving on to step 5:
314 divided by 41 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 587.0
Subtract 287 from 314 to get 27.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 276 / 41

Step 6:
If we divide 276 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5876.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 246 from 276.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
300 divided by 41 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5876.7
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.

On to step 8:
41 goes into 130 3 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5876.73
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
41 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5876.731
Subtracting 41 from 70 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 10:
41 goes into 290 7 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5876.7317
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
30 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5876.7317
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 41 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5876.731707
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 287 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 41 fits into 130 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5876.7317073
Subtracting 123 from 130 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
70 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5876.73170731
Subtracting 41 from 70 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.

The quotient of the division is 5876.73170731, and the remainder is 2.9e-08.
