We're dividing 86178 by 41 
Our goal is to divide 86178 by 41.

On to step 1:
The number 41 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 41

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 86 by 41, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 82 from 86 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 41

On to step 3:
If we divide 41 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 41 from 41 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
41 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 210.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 41

Step 5:
When dividing 78 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2101.0
Subtract 41 from 78 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.

Moving on to step 6:
41 goes into 370 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2101.9
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 7:
When dividing 10 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2101.9
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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:
The number 41 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2101.902
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.

On to step 9:
The number 41 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2101.9024
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 164 from 180.
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 10:
41 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2101.90243
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 123 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
370 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2101.902439
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.

On to step 12:
41 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2101.902439
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
100 divided by 41 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2101.90243902
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.

The quotient of the division is 2101.90243902, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
