Let's divide 240284 by 41
We want to figure out the number of times 240284 can be divided by 41.

Step 1:
2 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 41

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 240 / 41

Step 3:
When dividing 240 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 205 from 240.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 352 / 41

Let's proceed to step 4:
352 divided by 41 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 328 from 352 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 248 / 41

Going ahead to step 5:
41 goes into 248 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 586.0
Deduct 246 from 248 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 41

Advancing to step 6:
The number 41 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5860.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 41 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5860.5
Subtracting 205 from 240 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 350 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5860.58
Subtract 328 from 350 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 41 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5860.585
Deduct 205 from 220 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
41 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5860.5853
Subtract 123 from 150 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 270 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5860.58536
Deduct 246 from 270 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
240 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5860.585365
If we take 205 away from 240, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 13:
350 divided by 41 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5860.5853658
Subtract 328 from 350 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
41 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5860.58536585
Subtracting 205 from 220 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 5860.58536585 with a remainder of 1.5e-08.
