501712 ÷ 41 
We're looking to find how many times 41 goes into 501712.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 41 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 41

Let's proceed to step 2:
50 divided by 41 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 41 from 50, we get 9.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 91 / 41

On to step 3:
When dividing 91 by 41, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 82 from 91 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 41

Step 4:
The number 41 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we take 82 away from 97, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 151 / 41

Advancing to step 5:
The number 41 fits into 151 3 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1223.0
Deduct 123 from 151 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 282 / 41

Step 6:
The number 41 fits into 282 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12236.0
Subtract 246 from 282 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 41, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12236.8
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 328 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 41 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12236.87
Subtracting 287 from 320 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 330 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12236.878
Deduct 328 from 330 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12236.878
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 41 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12236.87804
If we subtract 164 from 200, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
41 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12236.878048
If we subtract 328 from 360, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 320 by 41, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12236.8780487
If we take 287 away from 320, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 330 by 41, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12236.87804878
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 328 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12236.87804878 with a remaining 2e-09.
