We divide 972579 by 61
We want to figure out the number of times 972579 can be divided by 61.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 61

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 61 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 61 from 97 leaves us with 36.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 362 / 61

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 61 fits into 362 5 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 305 from 362 to get 57.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 575 / 61

Step 4:
If we divide 575 by 61, we get 9 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we subtract 549 from 575, we get 26.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 267 / 61

Let's proceed to step 5:
61 can be fit into 267 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1594.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 244 from 267.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 61

Step 6:
61 can be fit into 239 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15943.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 183 from 239.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 7:
61 can be fit into 560 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15943.9
If we subtract 549 from 560, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 110 by 61, we get 1 with a remainder of 49.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15943.91
If we subtract 61 from 110, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
61 goes into 490 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15943.918
Deduct 488 from 490 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 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15943.918
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 61, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15943.91803
If we subtract 183 from 200, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
61 can be fit into 170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15943.918032
If we subtract 122 from 170, we get 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 13:
If we divide 480 by 61, we get 7 and a remainder of 53.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15943.9180327
Deduct 427 from 480 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 530 by 61, we get 8 and a remainder of 42.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15943.91803278
Subtract 488 from 530 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15943.91803278 with a remaining 4.2e-08.
