We're dividing 286597 by 41 
Let's see how many times 41 fits into 286597.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 41, we get 0 with 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.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 41

On to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 286 / 41

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 286 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 246 from 286.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 405 / 41

On to step 4:
405 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtract 369 from 405 to get 36.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 369 / 41

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 369 by 41, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 699.0
If we take 369 away from 369, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 41

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 7 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6990.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
41 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6990.1
If we subtract 41 from 70, we get 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 8:
41 goes into 290 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6990.17
Subtracting 287 from 290 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 9:
30 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6990.17
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 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 10:
The number 41 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6990.1707
If we subtract 287 from 300, we get 13.
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 11:
41 goes into 130 3 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6990.17073
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.

Step 12:
70 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6990.170731
Subtracting 41 from 70 leaves us 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 13:
290 divided by 41 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6990.1707317
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 287 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6990.1707317
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final result is 6990.1707317 with a remainder of 3e-08.
