Let's divide 499271 by 41
We want to figure out the number of times 499271 can be divided by 41.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 41

Step 2:
The number 41 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 41 away from 49, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 41

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 41 fits into 89 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 82 from 89 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 41

Step 4:
41 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Deduct 41 from 72 and we're left with 31.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 317 / 41

Going ahead 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: 1217.0
Deduct 287 from 317 and we're left with 30.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 301 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 301 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12177.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 287 from 301.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 7:
41 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12177.3
If we subtract 123 from 140, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
41 goes into 170 4 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12177.34
Subtracting 164 from 170 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12177.341
Subtract 41 from 60 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 190 by 41, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12177.3414
If we take 164 away from 190, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 41 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12177.34146
If we subtract 246 from 260, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 140 by 41, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12177.341463
If we take 123 away from 140, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 13:
41 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12177.3414634
If we subtract 164 from 170, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12177.34146341
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 41 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

The final result is 12177.34146341 with a remainder of 1.9e-08.
