Let's divide 472981 by 41
Our goal is to divide 472981 by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 41

Step 2:
The number 41 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 41 from 47 to get 6.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 41

Let's proceed to step 3:
41 can be fit into 62 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 41 from 62 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
219 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 115.0
Deduct 205 from 219 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 41

Step 5:
41 can be fit into 148 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1153.0
Subtract 123 from 148 to get 25.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 251 / 41

Going ahead to step 6:
41 can be fit into 251 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11536.0
If we subtract 246 from 251, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11536.1
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 41 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
41 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11536.12
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.

Step 9:
41 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11536.121
If we take 41 away from 80, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
41 goes into 390 9 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11536.1219
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 210 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11536.12195
Subtract 205 from 210 to 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.

Step 12:
41 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11536.121951
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
41 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11536.1219512
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 82 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
41 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11536.12195121
If we take 41 away from 80, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 11536.12195121, and the remainder is 3.9e-08.
