478859 ÷ 41 
We want to divide 478859 by 41.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 41

Advancing to step 2:
41 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 41 from 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 41

Moving on to step 3:
41 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 41 from 68 to get 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 41

On to step 4:
When dividing 278 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 116.0
Deduct 246 from 278 and we're left with 32.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 325 / 41

Step 5:
If we divide 325 by 41, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1167.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 287 from 325.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 389 / 41

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 389 by 41, we get 9 with a remainder of 20.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11679.0
Deduct 369 from 389 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 41, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11679.4
Subtracting 164 from 200 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11679.48
Subtracting 328 from 360 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 41 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11679.487
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 287 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
41 can be fit into 330 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11679.4878
If we take 328 away from 330, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 20 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11679.4878
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
41 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11679.487804
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 164 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 13:
41 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11679.4878048
Deduct 328 from 360 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11679.48780487
If we take 287 away from 320, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11679.48780487 with a remaining 3.3e-08.
