We divide 578478 by 61
We want to figure out the number of times 578478 can be divided by 61.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 57 / 61

On to step 2:
The number 61 fits into 57 0 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 0 from 57.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 578 / 61

Let's proceed to step 3:
61 can be fit into 578 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 549 from 578.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 294 / 61

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 294 by 61, we get 4 with a remainder of 50.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 94.0
If we subtract 244 from 294, we get 50.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 507 / 61

Step 5:
If we divide 507 by 61, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 948.0
Subtract 488 from 507 to get 19.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 198 / 61

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 198 by 61, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9483.0
Deduct 183 from 198 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 61 fits into 150 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9483.2
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 122 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 280 by 61, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9483.24
Subtract 244 from 280 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 61, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9483.245
Subtract 305 from 360 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 550 by 61, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9483.2459
If we take 549 away from 550, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 10 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9483.2459
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
100 divided by 61 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9483.245901
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 390 by 61, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9483.2459016
Subtract 366 from 390 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 240 by 61, we get 3 with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9483.24590163
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.

After the division, we end up with 9483.24590163 and a remainder of 5.7e-08.
