We divide 984959 by 61
We want to divide 984959 by 61.

On to step 1:
61 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 61

Moving on to step 2:
61 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 61 from 98, we get 37.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 374 / 61

Step 3:
374 divided by 61 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 366 away from 374, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 61

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 61 fits into 89 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 161.0
Deduct 61 from 89 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 285 / 61

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 61 fits into 285 4 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1614.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 244 from 285.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 419 / 61

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 419 by 61, we get 6 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16146.0
Subtract 366 from 419 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
61 goes into 530 8 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16146.8
Deduct 488 from 530 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
420 divided by 61 is 6 with a remainder of 54.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16146.86
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 366 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 9:
540 divided by 61 is 8 with a remainder of 52.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16146.868
If we subtract 488 from 540, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 61 fits into 520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16146.8688
Subtract 488 from 520 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16146.8688 with a balance of 0.00032.
