Let's divide 157217 by 61
Our goal is to divide 157217 by 61.

Moving on to step 1:
61 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 61

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 61

Let's proceed to step 3:
61 goes into 157 2 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 122 from 157, we get 35.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 352 / 61

On to step 4:
The number 61 fits into 352 5 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we subtract 305 from 352, we get 47.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 471 / 61

On to step 5:
471 divided by 61 is 7 with a remainder of 44.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 257.0
Subtracting 427 from 471 leaves us with 44.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 447 / 61

Let's proceed to step 6:
61 can be fit into 447 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2577.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 427 from 447.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 61 fits into 200 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2577.3
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 183 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 170 by 61, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2577.32
Deduct 122 from 170 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
61 can be fit into 480 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2577.327
Subtracting 427 from 480 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 61 fits into 530 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2577.3278
Deduct 488 from 530 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 61 fits into 420 6 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2577.32786
Deduct 366 from 420 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 540 by 61, we get 8 with a remainder of 52.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2577.327868
If we subtract 488 from 540, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
61 goes into 520 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2577.3278688
Subtract 488 from 520 to 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.

The final outcome is 2577.3278688, with a leftover of 3.2e-07.
