491171 ÷ 41 
We're looking to find how many times 41 goes into 491171.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 41

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 41 away from 49, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 41

On to step 3:
If we divide 81 by 41, we get 1 and a remainder of 40.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 41 away from 81, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 401 / 41

On to step 4:
When dividing 401 by 41, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtract 369 from 401 to get 32.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 327 / 41

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 41 fits into 327 7 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1197.0
If we subtract 287 from 327, we get 40.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 401 / 41

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 41 fits into 401 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11979.0
Deduct 369 from 401 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
320 divided by 41 is 7 with a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11979.7
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 287 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 8:
41 can be fit into 330 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11979.78
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
41 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11979.78
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 41 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11979.7804
Deduct 164 from 200 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11979.78048
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
41 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11979.780487
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.

On to step 13:
41 goes into 330 8 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11979.7804878
If we take 328 away from 330, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
41 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11979.7804878
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11979.7804878 with a balance of 2e-08.
