We divide 488598 by 41
We want to divide 488598 by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
41 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 41

Advancing to step 2:
41 can be fit into 48 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 41 from 48.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 41

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 78 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 41 from 78 and we're left with 37.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 375 / 41

Let's proceed to step 4:
41 can be fit into 375 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtract 369 from 375 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 41

Step 5:
When dividing 69 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1191.0
Deduct 41 from 69 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 288 by 41, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11917.0
Subtracting 287 from 288 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
10 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11917.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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 8:
When dividing 100 by 41, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11917.02
Subtract 82 from 100 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
41 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11917.024
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 164 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
160 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11917.0243
Subtract 123 from 160 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
370 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11917.02439
If we take 369 away from 370, we end up with 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 12:
The number 41 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11917.02439
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
41 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11917.0243902
If we subtract 82 from 100, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 180 by 41, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11917.02439024
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.

After the division, we end up with 11917.02439024 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
