Let's divide 983478 by 61
We want to divide 983478 by 61.

Moving on to step 1:
61 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 61

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 61, we get 1 with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 61 from 98, we get 37.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 373 / 61

On to step 3:
61 can be fit into 373 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 366 from 373 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 61

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 61 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 161.0
If we subtract 61 from 74, we get 13.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 137 / 61

On to step 5:
61 can be fit into 137 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1612.0
Subtract 122 from 137 to get 15.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 158 / 61

Step 6:
The number 61 fits into 158 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16122.0
If we take 122 away from 158, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
360 divided by 61 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16122.5
If we subtract 305 from 360, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 61 fits into 550 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16122.59
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 549 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 10 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16122.59
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16122.5901
Subtracting 61 from 100 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 11:
390 divided by 61 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16122.59016
If we take 366 away from 390, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 61, we get 3 and a remainder of 57.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16122.590163
Subtracting 183 from 240 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
61 can be fit into 570 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16122.5901639
If we subtract 549 from 570, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 61 fits into 210 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16122.59016393
Deduct 183 from 210 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

The final result is 16122.59016393 with a remainder of 2.7e-08.
