We're dividing 499918 by 41 
We're looking to find how many times 41 goes into 499918.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 41

Moving on to step 2:
49 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 41 away from 49, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 41

Advancing to step 3:
41 can be fit into 89 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 82 from 89 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 41

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 79 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 41 from 79.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 381 / 41

On to step 5:
41 goes into 381 9 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1219.0
Subtract 369 from 381 to get 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 41

Going ahead to step 6:
41 can be fit into 128 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12193.0
If we subtract 123 from 128, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
41 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12193.1
If we take 41 away from 50, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 90 by 41, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12193.12
If we take 82 away from 90, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
80 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12193.121
Deduct 41 from 80 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 41 fits into 390 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12193.1219
If we subtract 369 from 390, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 210 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12193.12195
Deduct 205 from 210 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 50 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12193.121951
Subtracting 41 from 50 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
41 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12193.1219512
If we take 82 away from 90, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
41 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12193.12195121
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 41 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12193.12195121 with a balance of 3.9e-08.
