We look at the division of 41697 by 4 
We want to divide 41697 by 4.

Step 1:
4 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
The number 4 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 4

On to step 3:
When dividing 16 by 4, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 104.0
Subtract 16 from 16 to get 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 4

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 9 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1042.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 4

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 17 by 4, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10424.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 6:
10 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10424.2
If we subtract 8 from 10, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
4 can be fit into 20 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10424.25
Subtracting 20 from 20 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10424.25
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10424.25
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10424.25, and the remainder is 0.0.
