Let's divide 61421284 by 478
We want to figure out the number of times 61421284 can be divided by 478.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 478 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 478

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 61 by 478, we get 0 and a remainder of 61.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 61, we get 61.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 614 / 478

Going ahead to step 3:
614 divided by 478 is 1 with a remainder of 136.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 478 from 614.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 136, then carry on: 1362 / 478

Advancing to step 4:
1362 divided by 478 is 2 with a remainder of 406.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 406 after subtracting 956 from 1362.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 406, then repeat: 4061 / 478

Step 5:
If we divide 4061 by 478, we get 8 and a remainder of 237.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 128.0
If we take 3824 away from 4061, we end up with 237.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 237 and repeat the process: 2372 / 478

Moving on to step 6:
2372 divided by 478 is 4 with a remainder of 460.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1284.0
Deduct 1912 from 2372 and we're left with 460.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 460 and continue with: 4608 / 478

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 4608 by 478, we get 9 and a remainder of 306.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12849.0
The remainder is 306 after subtracting 4302 from 4608.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 306 and repeat the process: 3064 / 478

On to step 8:
478 can be fit into 3064 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 196.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 128496.0
Subtracting 2868 from 3064 leaves us with 196.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
478 can be fit into 1960 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 128496.4
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 1912 from 1960.
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 10:
If we divide 480 by 478, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 128496.41
Subtract 478 from 480 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 20 by 478, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 128496.41
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
200 divided by 478 is 0 with a remainder of 200.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 128496.41
If we take 0 away from 200, we end up with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Our division results in 128496.41 with a remaining 0.002.
