We divide 156438 by 61
Our goal is to divide 156438 by 61.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 61 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 61

Advancing to step 2:
61 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 156 / 61

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 61 fits into 156 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 122 from 156 and we're left with 34.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 344 / 61

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 344 by 61, we get 5 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 305 from 344.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 393 / 61

On to step 5:
61 can be fit into 393 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256.0
Subtracting 366 from 393 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 61

Advancing to step 6:
61 can be fit into 278 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2564.0
Deduct 244 from 278 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 340 by 61, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2564.5
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 305 from 340.
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 8:
When dividing 350 by 61, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2564.55
If we take 305 away from 350, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 2564.55, and the remainder is 0.045.
