242709 divided by 41 
We want to figure out the number of times 242709 can be divided by 41.

On to step 1:
41 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 41

Let's proceed to step 2:
41 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 41

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 41 fits into 242 5 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 205 from 242, we get 37.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 377 / 41

Let's proceed to step 4:
377 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtracting 369 from 377 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 80 / 41

Moving on to step 5:
41 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 591.0
If we subtract 41 from 80, we get 39.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 399 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
41 can be fit into 399 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5919.0
If we subtract 369 from 399, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 300 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5919.7
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 287 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
41 goes into 130 3 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5919.73
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 123 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 70 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5919.731
If we take 41 away from 70, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
41 goes into 290 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5919.7317
If we subtract 287 from 290, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
41 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5919.7317
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 41, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5919.731707
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 287 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 41 fits into 130 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5919.7317073
Subtracting 123 from 130 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
41 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5919.73170731
If we take 41 away from 70, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5919.73170731 and a remainder of 2.9e-08.
