We divide 217605 by 41
We want to figure out the number of times 217605 can be divided by 41.

Advancing to step 1:
41 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 41

Advancing to step 2:
41 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 41

On to step 3:
217 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 205 from 217 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 126 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
126 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we take 123 away from 126, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 41

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 30 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 530.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 305 / 41

On to step 6:
When dividing 305 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5307.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 287 from 305.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
180 divided by 41 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5307.4
If we subtract 164 from 180, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
41 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5307.43
If we take 123 away from 160, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 370 by 41, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5307.439
Subtract 369 from 370 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
41 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5307.439
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
41 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5307.43902
Deduct 82 from 100 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
41 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5307.439024
Subtracting 164 from 180 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
41 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5307.4390243
Deduct 123 from 160 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 370 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5307.43902439
If we subtract 369 from 370, 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.

Our division results in 5307.43902439 with a remaining 1e-09.
