We look at the division of 488311 by 41 
We want to divide 488311 by 41.

Let's proceed to step 1:
41 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 41

Let's proceed to step 2:
41 goes into 48 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 41 from 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 41

Step 3:
When dividing 78 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 41 away from 78, we end up with 37.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 373 / 41

Advancing to step 4:
41 can be fit into 373 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119.0
Deduct 369 from 373 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 41

On to step 5:
41 can be fit into 41 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1191.0
Subtracting 41 from 41 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 41

Let's proceed to step 6:
1 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11910.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11910.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
100 divided by 41 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11910.02
If we subtract 82 from 100, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 11910.024
Deduct 164 from 180 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 160 by 41, we get 3 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11910.0243
Deduct 123 from 160 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 370 by 41, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11910.02439
Subtracting 369 from 370 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
10 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11910.02439
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 100 by 41, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11910.0243902
Subtracting 82 from 100 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 41 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11910.02439024
If we subtract 164 from 180, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11910.02439024, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
