We divide 280534 by 41
We want to figure out the number of times 280534 can be divided by 41.

On 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
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 41

Going ahead to step 2:
41 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 280 / 41

Moving on to step 3:
41 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 246 from 280 and we're left with 34.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 345 / 41

Step 4:
When dividing 345 by 41, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 328 from 345.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 173 / 41

Step 5:
When dividing 173 by 41, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 684.0
Subtract 164 from 173 to get 9.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 94 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
The number 41 fits into 94 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6842.0
If we subtract 82 from 94, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 41, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6842.2
Deduct 82 from 120 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
41 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6842.29
If we subtract 369 from 380, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
110 divided by 41 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6842.292
If we take 82 away from 110, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
41 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6842.2926
If we subtract 246 from 280, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
41 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6842.29268
Subtract 328 from 340 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
41 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6842.292682
Subtract 82 from 120 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
41 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6842.2926829
If we subtract 369 from 380, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
41 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6842.29268292
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 82 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6842.29268292 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
