261598 divided by 41 
We're looking to find how many times 41 goes into 261598.

Going ahead to step 1:
41 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 41

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 41 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 41

Step 3:
If we divide 261 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 246 away from 261, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 155 / 41

Step 4:
When dividing 155 by 41, we get 3 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 123 from 155.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 329 / 41

Moving on to step 5:
41 goes into 329 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 638.0
Deduct 328 from 329 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 41

On to step 6:
The number 41 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6380.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to 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 7:
The number 41 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6380.4
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 164 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 41 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6380.43
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 9:
370 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6380.439
If we subtract 369 from 370, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
41 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6380.439
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
41 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6380.43902
If we take 82 away from 100, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 41 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6380.439024
If we take 164 away from 180, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
160 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6380.4390243
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
370 divided by 41 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6380.43902439
If we subtract 369 from 370, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6380.43902439 with a remaining 1e-09.
