638543 divided by 41 
We want to divide 638543 by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 41 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 63 / 41

Moving on to step 2:
41 goes into 63 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 41 from 63 to get 22.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 228 / 41

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 41 fits into 228 5 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 205 from 228.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 235 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
41 can be fit into 235 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 155.0
Subtracting 205 from 235 leaves us with 30.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 304 / 41

On to step 5:
41 goes into 304 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1557.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 287 from 304.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
41 goes into 173 4 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15574.0
Subtract 164 from 173 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 41 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15574.2
If we subtract 82 from 90, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 8:
41 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15574.21
Subtract 41 from 80 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 390 by 41, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15574.219
Subtract 369 from 390 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 210 by 41, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15574.2195
Deduct 205 from 210 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 41 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15574.21951
If we take 41 away from 50, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 12:
90 divided by 41 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15574.219512
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 82 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
41 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15574.2195121
If we take 41 away from 80, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 390 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15574.21951219
If we take 369 away from 390, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15574.21951219 with a remaining 2.1e-08.
