Let's divide 977261 by 41
We want to divide 977261 by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
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

Moving on to step 2:
The number 41 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 82 from 97.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 41

Going ahead to step 3:
41 goes into 157 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 123 from 157 and we're left with 34.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 342 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
41 goes into 342 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 238.0
If we subtract 328 from 342, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 146 / 41

Step 5:
41 can be fit into 146 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2383.0
Subtracting 123 from 146 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 231 / 41

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 231 by 41, we get 5 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 23835.0
Subtract 205 from 231 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23835.6
Deduct 246 from 260 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
140 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23835.63
Subtract 123 from 140 to 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 9:
When dividing 170 by 41, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23835.634
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.

Advancing to step 10:
60 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23835.6341
Deduct 41 from 60 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
41 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23835.63414
If we subtract 164 from 190, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
41 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23835.634146
If we take 246 away from 260, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
41 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23835.6341463
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 123 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 170 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23835.63414634
Deduct 164 from 170 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 23835.63414634 with a remaining 6e-09.
