Let's divide 147472 by 61
We want to figure out the number of times 147472 can be divided by 61.

Going ahead to step 1:
61 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 61

On to step 2:
14 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 61

Going ahead to step 3:
147 divided by 61 is 2 with a remainder of 25.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 122 from 147.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 254 / 61

Advancing to step 4:
The number 61 fits into 254 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 244 from 254 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 61

On to step 5:
The number 61 fits into 107 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 241.0
Subtracting 61 from 107 leaves us with 46.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 462 / 61

On to step 6:
If we divide 462 by 61, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2417.0
Subtracting 427 from 462 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 61 fits into 350 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2417.5
Deduct 305 from 350 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 8:
450 divided by 61 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2417.57
If we subtract 427 from 450, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 9:
61 can be fit into 230 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2417.573
Subtract 183 from 230 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 470 by 61, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2417.5737
Deduct 427 from 470 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 430 by 61, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2417.57377
Deduct 427 from 430 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2417.57377 and a remainder of 3e-06.
