188857 ÷ 41 
We want to figure out the number of times 188857 can be divided by 41.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 41

Step 2:
When dividing 18 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 41

Moving on to step 3:
41 can be fit into 188 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 164 from 188 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 41

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 248 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 246 from 248, we get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 41

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 25 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 460.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 257 / 41

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 257 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4606.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 246 from 257.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
41 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4606.2
Subtracting 82 from 110 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 280 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 34.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4606.26
If we subtract 246 from 280, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
41 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4606.268
If we take 328 away from 340, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 41, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4606.2682
If we subtract 82 from 120, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
41 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4606.26829
Deduct 369 from 380 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
41 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4606.268292
Deduct 82 from 110 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
41 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4606.2682926
Deduct 246 from 280 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
41 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4606.26829268
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 328 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4606.26829268, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
