We look at the division of 208589 by 41 
We want to figure out the number of times 208589 can be divided by 41.

On to step 1:
41 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 41

Step 2:
If we divide 20 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 41

Step 3:
When dividing 208 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 205 from 208 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 41

Step 4:
41 can be fit into 35 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 35, we end up with 35.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 358 / 41

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 358 by 41, we get 8 with a remainder of 30.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 508.0
Subtract 328 from 358 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 309 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
309 divided by 41 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5087.0
Deduct 287 from 309 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 41 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5087.5
Subtracting 205 from 220 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 41 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5087.53
Subtracting 123 from 150 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
270 divided by 41 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5087.536
Subtracting 246 from 270 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
240 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5087.5365
Deduct 205 from 240 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5087.53658
Subtract 328 from 350 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5087.536585
Subtracting 205 from 220 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 41 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5087.5365853
Deduct 123 from 150 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
41 goes into 270 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5087.53658536
If we subtract 246 from 270, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5087.53658536 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
