We look at the division of 550871 by 41 
Our goal is to divide 550871 by 41.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 41

Step 2:
The number 41 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 41 from 55, we get 14.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 140 / 41

On to step 3:
41 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 123 away from 140, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 41

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 178 by 41, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 134.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 164 from 178.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 147 / 41

Step 5:
If we divide 147 by 41, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1343.0
If we take 123 away from 147, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 241 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
The number 41 fits into 241 5 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13435.0
Subtract 205 from 241 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 360 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13435.8
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 328 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 41 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13435.87
Subtract 287 from 320 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 41 fits into 330 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13435.878
Subtracting 328 from 330 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
20 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13435.878
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 41, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13435.87804
Subtracting 164 from 200 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
41 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13435.878048
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 328 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 41 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13435.8780487
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 287 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 330 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13435.87804878
Subtract 328 from 330 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 13435.87804878, and the remainder is 2e-09.
