We look at the division of 272979 by 41 
We want to figure out the number of times 272979 can be divided by 41.

On to step 1:
41 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 41

On to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 272 / 41

On to step 3:
272 divided by 41 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 246 from 272 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 269 / 41

Moving on to step 4:
The number 41 fits into 269 6 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 66.0
If we subtract 246 from 269, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 237 / 41

Let's proceed to step 5:
41 goes into 237 5 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 665.0
If we take 205 away from 237, we end up with 32.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 329 / 41

Let's proceed to step 6:
41 goes into 329 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6658.0
Subtracting 328 from 329 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
10 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6658.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
41 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6658.02
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 82 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 41 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6658.024
If we subtract 164 from 180, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
160 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6658.0243
Subtract 123 from 160 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 41 fits into 370 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6658.02439
If we take 369 away from 370, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 10 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6658.02439
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
41 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6658.0243902
Subtract 82 from 100 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
41 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6658.02439024
If we subtract 164 from 180, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6658.02439024 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
