We look at the division of 179285 by 61 
We want to divide 179285 by 61.

On to step 1:
61 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 61

Moving on to step 2:
17 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 179 / 61

Advancing to step 3:
61 can be fit into 179 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 122 from 179 to get 57.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 572 / 61

Let's proceed to step 4:
61 can be fit into 572 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 549 from 572 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 238 / 61

Let's proceed to step 5:
61 goes into 238 3 times with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 293.0
If we subtract 183 from 238, we get 55.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 555 / 61

On to step 6:
When dividing 555 by 61, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2939.0
If we subtract 549 from 555, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2939.0
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
61 can be fit into 600 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2939.09
Subtract 549 from 600 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
61 goes into 510 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2939.098
If we subtract 488 from 510, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 61 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2939.0983
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 2939.09836
Subtract 366 from 370 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2939.09836
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 61 fits into 400 6 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2939.0983606
Subtracting 366 from 400 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 340 by 61, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2939.09836065
Deduct 305 from 340 and we're left 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.

The final result is 2939.09836065 with a remainder of 3.5e-08.
