Let's divide 539846 by 41
Our goal is to divide 539846 by 41.

Step 1:
The number 41 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 41

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 53 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 41 from 53.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 129 / 41

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 129 by 41, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 123 from 129.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 41

Step 4:
68 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 131.0
If we take 41 away from 68, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 274 / 41

Step 5:
If we divide 274 by 41, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1316.0
Subtract 246 from 274 to get 28.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 286 / 41

Step 6:
41 can be fit into 286 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13166.0
If we take 246 away from 286, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 41 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13166.9
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 369 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 310 by 41, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13166.97
Subtract 287 from 310 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 230 by 41, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13166.975
If we subtract 205 from 230, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 250 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13166.9756
Deduct 246 from 250 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 41 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13166.9756
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
41 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13166.975609
Subtract 369 from 400 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
41 goes into 310 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13166.9756097
If we take 287 away from 310, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
230 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13166.97560975
Deduct 205 from 230 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The final result is 13166.97560975 with a remainder of 2.5e-08.
