501712 ÷ 41 
We want to figure out the number of times 501712 can be divided by 41.

Step 1:
41 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 41

On to step 2:
50 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 41 away from 50, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 91 / 41

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 91 by 41, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 82 away from 91, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
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: 122.0
Deduct 82 from 97 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 151 / 41

Step 5:
When dividing 151 by 41, we get 3 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1223.0
Subtract 123 from 151 to get 28.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 282 / 41

On to step 6:
The number 41 fits into 282 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12236.0
If we take 246 away from 282, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 7:
41 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12236.8
If we subtract 328 from 360, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 41, we get 7 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12236.87
Subtract 287 from 320 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 41 fits into 330 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12236.878
Deduct 328 from 330 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 10:
41 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12236.878
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
41 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12236.87804
Deduct 164 from 200 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
41 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12236.878048
If we subtract 328 from 360, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 41, we get 7 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12236.8780487
If we subtract 287 from 320, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
41 can be fit into 330 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12236.87804878
Subtracting 328 from 330 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12236.87804878 with a balance of 2e-09.
