978499 divided by 41 
Let's see how many times 41 fits into 978499.

Step 1:
The number 41 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 41

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 41 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 82 from 97 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 41

Step 3:
158 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 123 from 158, we get 35.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 354 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 354 by 41, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 238.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 328 from 354.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 41

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 269 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 23.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2386.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 246 from 269.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 239 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
239 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 34.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23865.0
Subtracting 205 from 239 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 340 by 41, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23865.8
Deduct 328 from 340 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 120 by 41, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23865.82
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 82 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
380 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 23865.829
Deduct 369 from 380 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
41 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23865.8292
Deduct 82 from 110 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23865.82926
If we subtract 246 from 280, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 340 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23865.829268
Subtracting 328 from 340 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
41 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 23865.8292682
Subtracting 82 from 120 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23865.82926829
Subtracting 369 from 380 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 23865.82926829 and a remainder of 1.1e-08.
