400873 divided by 41 
We want to figure out the number of times 400873 can be divided by 41.

Step 1:
41 goes into 4 0 times 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.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 41

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 400 / 41

Advancing to step 3:
The number 41 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 369 from 400 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 318 / 41

Let's proceed to step 4:
41 goes into 318 7 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97.0
If we subtract 287 from 318, we get 31.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 317 / 41

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 317 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 977.0
Subtracting 287 from 317 leaves us with 30.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 303 / 41

Going ahead to step 6:
41 goes into 303 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9777.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 287 from 303.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
160 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9777.3
Subtracting 123 from 160 leaves us with 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 8:
When dividing 370 by 41, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9777.39
If we subtract 369 from 370, we get 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 9:
If we divide 10 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9777.39
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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 9777.3902
Subtracting 82 from 100 leaves us with 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 11:
If we divide 180 by 41, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9777.39024
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.

On to step 12:
41 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9777.390243
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.

Step 13:
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: 9777.3902439
Subtracting 369 from 370 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9777.3902439
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.

After the division, we end up with 9777.3902439 and a remainder of 1e-08.
