970981 ÷ 61 
Our goal is to divide 970981 by 61.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 61

On to step 2:
61 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 61 from 97.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 360 / 61

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 360 by 61, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 305 from 360 to get 55.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 559 / 61

On to step 4:
When dividing 559 by 61, we get 9 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
Subtract 549 from 559 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 61

Step 5:
If we divide 108 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1591.0
Deduct 61 from 108 and we're left with 47.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 471 / 61

On to step 6:
The number 61 fits into 471 7 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15917.0
Deduct 427 from 471 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 440 by 61, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15917.7
Subtract 427 from 440 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 61 fits into 130 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15917.72
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 122 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 61 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15917.721
Deduct 61 from 80 and we're left with 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 10:
If we divide 190 by 61, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 15917.7213
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 183 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 61 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15917.72131
Deduct 61 from 70 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 61 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15917.721311
Deduct 61 from 90 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15917.721311 with a remaining 2.9e-06.
