We're dividing 724942 by 41 
We want to figure out the number of times 724942 can be divided by 41.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 41 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 41

Step 2:
72 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 41 from 72.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 314 / 41

Step 3:
The number 41 fits into 314 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 287 from 314.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 41

Step 4:
279 divided by 41 is 6 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtracting 246 from 279 leaves us with 33.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 334 / 41

Advancing to step 5:
41 can be fit into 334 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1768.0
Subtracting 328 from 334 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 41

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 41 fits into 62 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17681.0
Subtract 41 from 62 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17681.5
If we subtract 205 from 210, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
41 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17681.51
Deduct 41 from 50 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 17681.512
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17681.5121
Subtracting 41 from 80 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
The number 41 fits into 390 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17681.51219
Subtract 369 from 390 to 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:
41 can be fit into 210 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17681.512195
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.

Step 13:
41 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17681.5121951
Subtracting 41 from 50 leaves us with 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 14:
If we divide 90 by 41, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17681.51219512
Subtracting 82 from 90 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 17681.51219512 with a remaining 8e-09.
