We're dividing 288973 by 41 
Let's see how many times 41 fits into 288973.

On to step 1:
The number 41 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 41

On to step 2:
The number 41 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 288 / 41

Advancing to step 3:
The number 41 fits into 288 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 287 from 288, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
41 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 41

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 197 by 41, we get 4 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 704.0
Subtracting 164 from 197 leaves us with 33.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 333 / 41

Let's proceed to step 6:
333 divided by 41 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7048.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 328 from 333.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
50 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7048.1
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 41 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7048.12
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 82 from 90.
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 9:
41 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7048.121
If we take 41 away from 80, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
390 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7048.1219
Deduct 369 from 390 and we're left with 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 11:
The number 41 fits into 210 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7048.12195
Subtract 205 from 210 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 41 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7048.121951
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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 90 by 41, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7048.1219512
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 82 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 80 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7048.12195121
Deduct 41 from 80 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

The final result is 7048.12195121 with a remainder of 3.9e-08.
