We divide 279161 by 61
We want to figure out the number of times 279161 can be divided by 61.

Let's proceed to step 1:
61 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 61

Moving on to step 2:
27 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 61

On to step 3:
61 can be fit into 279 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 244 away from 279, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 351 / 61

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 61 fits into 351 5 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we subtract 305 from 351, we get 46.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 466 / 61

Advancing to step 5:
61 goes into 466 7 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 457.0
Subtract 427 from 466 to get 39.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 391 / 61

On to step 6:
391 divided by 61 is 6 with a remainder of 25.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4576.0
If we take 366 away from 391, we end up 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.

Step 7:
The number 61 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4576.4
If we take 244 away from 250, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
60 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4576.4
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 600 by 61, we get 9 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4576.409
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 549 from 600.
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 10:
61 goes into 510 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4576.4098
Subtract 488 from 510 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 61 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4576.40983
If we subtract 183 from 220, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
61 can be fit into 370 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4576.409836
If we take 366 away from 370, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4576.409836
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
61 can be fit into 400 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4576.40983606
Deduct 366 from 400 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4576.40983606, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
