Let's divide 491608 by 41
We want to divide 491608 by 41.

On to step 1:
41 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 41

Step 2:
49 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 41 from 49 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 81 / 41

Moving on to step 3:
41 can be fit into 81 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 41 away from 81, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 406 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
41 goes into 406 9 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtract 369 from 406 to get 37.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 370 / 41

On to step 5:
If we divide 370 by 41, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1199.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 369 from 370.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 41

Moving on to step 6:
18 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11990.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 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 7:
When dividing 180 by 41, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11990.4
Deduct 164 from 180 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
41 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11990.43
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.

Advancing to step 9:
41 goes into 370 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11990.439
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 369 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
10 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11990.439
If we subtract 0 from 10, we 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 41 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11990.43902
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.

Advancing to step 12:
180 divided by 41 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11990.439024
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
41 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11990.4390243
If we subtract 123 from 160, we 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 14:
41 can be fit into 370 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11990.43902439
Deduct 369 from 370 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 11990.43902439 and a remainder of 1e-09.
