We divide 278161 by 41
We want to figure out the number of times 278161 can be divided by 41.

Moving on to step 1:
41 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 41

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 41

Moving on to step 3:
The number 41 fits into 278 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 246 from 278 and we're left with 32.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 321 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
41 can be fit into 321 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we take 287 away from 321, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 346 / 41

Advancing to step 5:
The number 41 fits into 346 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 678.0
Subtract 328 from 346 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 181 / 41

Advancing to step 6:
181 divided by 41 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6784.0
If we subtract 164 from 181, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 41 fits into 170 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6784.4
If we subtract 164 from 170, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 60 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6784.41
If we subtract 41 from 60, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 41 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6784.414
Deduct 164 from 190 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
41 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6784.4146
Subtracting 246 from 260 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 140 by 41, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6784.41463
Subtract 123 from 140 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
41 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6784.414634
Deduct 164 from 170 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
60 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6784.4146341
If we subtract 41 from 60, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 190 by 41, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6784.41463414
If we take 164 away from 190, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6784.41463414 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
