Let's divide 973996 by 61
We want to figure out the number of times 973996 can be divided by 61.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 61 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 61

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 61, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 61 from 97 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 363 / 61

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 61 fits into 363 5 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 305 from 363.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 589 / 61

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 61 fits into 589 9 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 159.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 549 from 589.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 409 / 61

On to step 5:
61 can be fit into 409 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1596.0
Subtracting 366 from 409 leaves us with 43.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 436 / 61

Going ahead to step 6:
436 divided by 61 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15967.0
If we take 427 away from 436, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15967.1
If we subtract 61 from 90, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 290 by 61, we get 4 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15967.14
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 244 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 460 by 61, we get 7 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 15967.147
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 427 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 330 by 61, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15967.1475
Deduct 305 from 330 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 61 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15967.14754
Subtract 244 from 250 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 60 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15967.14754
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
600 divided by 61 is 9 with a remainder of 51.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15967.1475409
If we subtract 549 from 600, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
61 goes into 510 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15967.14754098
If we take 488 away from 510, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 15967.14754098 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
