We're dividing 589478 by 41 
Our goal is to divide 589478 by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
41 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 41

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 41 from 58, we get 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 41

On to step 3:
41 can be fit into 179 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 164 from 179 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 154 / 41

Step 4:
154 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 143.0
If we subtract 123 from 154, we get 31.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 317 / 41

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 317 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1437.0
If we subtract 287 from 317, we get 30.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 308 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
The number 41 fits into 308 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14377.0
If we subtract 287 from 308, we 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 41 fits into 210 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14377.5
Subtracting 205 from 210 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
50 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14377.51
If we subtract 41 from 50, we 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 9:
The number 41 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14377.512
Deduct 82 from 90 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 41 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14377.5121
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 11:
390 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14377.51219
If we subtract 369 from 390, we 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.

Moving on to step 12:
210 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14377.512195
If we take 205 away from 210, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
41 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14377.5121951
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 41 from 50.
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 14:
When dividing 90 by 41, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14377.51219512
If we take 82 away from 90, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 14377.51219512 with a remainder of 8e-09.
