871331 ÷ 41 
We want to divide 871331 by 41.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 41

Moving on to step 2:
41 goes into 87 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 82 from 87, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 41

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 51 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 41 away from 51, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 103 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 41 fits into 103 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 212.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 82 from 103.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 213 / 41

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 213 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2125.0
Subtracting 205 from 213 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 81 / 41

On to step 6:
When dividing 81 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 40.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21251.0
If we take 41 away from 81, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
400 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21251.9
If we take 369 away from 400, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 310 by 41, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21251.97
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 287 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 230 by 41, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21251.975
Subtracting 205 from 230 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
41 can be fit into 250 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21251.9756
If we subtract 246 from 250, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 41 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21251.9756
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
400 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21251.975609
Subtracting 369 from 400 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
41 can be fit into 310 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21251.9756097
Deduct 287 from 310 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
230 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21251.97560975
Subtracting 205 from 230 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 21251.97560975 and a remainder of 2.5e-08.
