Let's divide 218865 by 61
We want to divide 218865 by 61.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 61

Let's proceed to step 2:
61 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 61

Step 3:
61 goes into 218 3 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 183 from 218 leaves us with 35.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 358 / 61

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 358 by 61, we get 5 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 305 from 358 and we're left with 53.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 536 / 61

Let's proceed to step 5:
61 can be fit into 536 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 358.0
Subtract 488 from 536 to get 48.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 485 / 61

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 485 by 61, we get 7 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3587.0
Subtract 427 from 485 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
61 goes into 580 9 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3587.9
Subtracting 549 from 580 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 310 by 61, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3587.95
Subtract 305 from 310 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3587.95
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 500 by 61, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3587.9508
Subtract 488 from 500 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 59.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3587.95081
Subtracting 61 from 120 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 61 fits into 590 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3587.950819
If we take 549 away from 590, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 410 by 61, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3587.9508196
Subtracting 366 from 410 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
440 divided by 61 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3587.95081967
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 427 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final result is 3587.95081967 with a remainder of 1.3e-08.
