We're dividing 41864981 by 281 
Let's see how many times 281 fits into 41864981.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 281, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 281

Moving on to step 2:
281 goes into 41 0 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 41, we get 41.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 418 / 281

Step 3:
281 can be fit into 418 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 137.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 281 from 418 leaves us with 137.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 137 and repeat the process: 1376 / 281

Let's proceed to step 4:
281 goes into 1376 4 times with a remainder of 252.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 1124 from 1376, we get 252.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 252 and continue: 2524 / 281

Advancing to step 5:
The number 281 fits into 2524 8 times, leaving a remainder of 276.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148.0
The remainder is 276 after subtracting 2248 from 2524.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 276, then repeat: 2769 / 281

On to step 6:
2769 divided by 281 is 9 with a remainder of 240.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1489.0
Deduct 2529 from 2769 and we're left with 240.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 240, then carry on: 2408 / 281

Let's proceed to step 7:
281 goes into 2408 8 times with a remainder of 160.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14898.0
The remainder is 160 after subtracting 2248 from 2408.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 160, then carry on: 1601 / 281

Advancing to step 8:
1601 divided by 281 is 5 with a remainder of 196.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 148985.0
If we subtract 1405 from 1601, we get 196.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1960, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
1960 divided by 281 is 6 with a remainder of 274.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148985.6
Subtract 1686 from 1960 to get 274.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
281 can be fit into 2740 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 211.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148985.69
Deduct 2529 from 2740 and we're left with 211.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
281 can be fit into 2110 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 143.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148985.697
If we take 1967 away from 2110, we end up with 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 1430 by 281, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148985.6975
If we take 1405 away from 1430, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 281 fits into 250 0 times, leaving a remainder of 250.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148985.6975
Subtracting 0 from 250 leaves us with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
2500 divided by 281 is 8 with a remainder of 252.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148985.697508
If we subtract 2248 from 2500, we get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 281 fits into 2520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 272.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 148985.6975088
Subtracting 2248 from 2520 leaves us with 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 148985.6975088, with a leftover of 2.72e-06.
