We're dividing 51531 by 41 
We're looking to find how many times 41 goes into 51531.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 41, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 41

On to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 41 from 51, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 105 / 41

Advancing to step 3:
41 can be fit into 105 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 82 from 105.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 233 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 233 by 41, we get 5 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 125.0
Deduct 205 from 233 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 41

Let's proceed to step 5:
281 divided by 41 is 6 with a remainder of 35.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1256.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 246 from 281.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
350 divided by 41 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1256.8
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 328 from 350.
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 7:
220 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1256.85
If we take 205 away from 220, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
41 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1256.853
Deduct 123 from 150 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 270 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1256.8536
If we take 246 away from 270, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 41 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1256.85365
Deduct 205 from 240 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 41 fits into 350 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1256.853658
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.

Moving on to step 12:
41 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1256.8536585
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 41 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1256.85365853
If we subtract 123 from 150, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1256.85365853 with a balance of 2.7e-08.
