We divide 685949 by 41
Our goal is to divide 685949 by 41.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 41

Going ahead to step 2:
41 can be fit into 68 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 41 from 68, we get 27.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 275 / 41

On to step 3:
41 goes into 275 6 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 246 from 275 and we're left with 29.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 299 / 41

On to step 4:
41 can be fit into 299 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 167.0
If we subtract 287 from 299, we get 12.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 124 / 41

Going ahead to step 5:
41 goes into 124 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1673.0
Subtracting 123 from 124 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 41

On to step 6:
19 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16730.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 41 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16730.4
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 164 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
41 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16730.46
Deduct 246 from 260 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
41 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16730.463
Deduct 123 from 140 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
170 divided by 41 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16730.4634
If we take 164 away from 170, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
41 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16730.46341
Deduct 41 from 60 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
190 divided by 41 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16730.463414
If we subtract 164 from 190, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
41 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16730.4634146
If we subtract 246 from 260, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
140 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16730.46341463
Subtract 123 from 140 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16730.46341463 with a balance of 1.7e-08.
