Let's divide 20 by 41
Our goal is to divide 20 by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 41

Step 2:
When dividing 20 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 200 by 41, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.4
If we take 164 away from 200, 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.

Let's proceed to step 4:
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: 0.48
Deduct 328 from 360 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 5:
The number 41 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.487
If we take 287 away from 320, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 330 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.4878
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.

On to step 7:
41 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.4878
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
41 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.487804
Subtracting 164 from 200 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
360 divided by 41 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 0.4878048
Deduct 328 from 360 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
41 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 33.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.48780487
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.

The final outcome is 0.48780487, with a leftover of 3.3e-08.
