We divide 498402 by 41
We want to divide 498402 by 41.

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
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 41

Step 2:
41 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 41 away from 49, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 41

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 88 by 41, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 82 from 88 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 64 / 41

On to step 4:
41 goes into 64 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we subtract 41 from 64, we get 23.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 230 / 41

Let's proceed to step 5:
230 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1215.0
If we subtract 205 from 230, we get 25.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 41

Advancing to step 6:
252 divided by 41 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12156.0
Deduct 246 from 252 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
41 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12156.1
If we take 41 away from 60, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
190 divided by 41 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12156.14
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 260 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12156.146
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 140 by 41, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12156.1463
Subtracting 123 from 140 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
41 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12156.14634
Deduct 164 from 170 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 60 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12156.146341
Subtract 41 from 60 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 13:
If we divide 190 by 41, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12156.1463414
Subtracting 164 from 190 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
260 divided by 41 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12156.14634146
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12156.14634146 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
