Let's divide 243687 by 41
We're looking to find how many times 41 goes into 243687.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 41

Step 2:
The number 41 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 243 / 41

Step 3:
41 can be fit into 243 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 205 from 243.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 386 / 41

On to step 4:
41 goes into 386 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtracting 369 from 386 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 41

Moving on to step 5:
41 goes into 178 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 594.0
If we take 164 away from 178, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 41

On to step 6:
41 goes into 147 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5943.0
Deduct 123 from 147 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5943.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
350 divided by 41 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5943.58
If we subtract 328 from 350, we 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.

Step 9:
220 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5943.585
Subtract 205 from 220 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
150 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5943.5853
If we subtract 123 from 150, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 270 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5943.58536
If we take 246 away from 270, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
240 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5943.585365
Subtract 205 from 240 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 350 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5943.5853658
Subtracting 328 from 350 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
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: 5943.58536585
Subtract 205 from 220 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5943.58536585 and a remainder of 1.5e-08.
