We divide 217944 by 61
We want to figure out the number of times 217944 can be divided by 61.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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

Step 2:
If we divide 21 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 61

Step 3:
When dividing 217 by 61, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 183 from 217 to get 34.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 349 / 61

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 61 fits into 349 5 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 305 from 349 leaves us with 44.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 444 / 61

Let's proceed to step 5:
444 divided by 61 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 357.0
Subtracting 427 from 444 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 174 / 61

Let's proceed to step 6:
61 goes into 174 2 times with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3572.0
Subtract 122 from 174 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
61 goes into 520 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3572.8
Subtracting 488 from 520 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 320 by 61, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3572.85
If we take 305 away from 320, we end up 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 9:
61 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3572.852
Subtract 122 from 150 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 61 fits into 280 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3572.8524
If we take 244 away from 280, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
61 can be fit into 360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3572.85245
Deduct 305 from 360 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
61 goes into 550 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3572.852459
If we subtract 549 from 550, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 3572.852459
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
61 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3572.85245901
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 61 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3572.85245901, with a leftover of 3.9e-08.
