We divide 62687 by 61
Our goal is to divide 62687 by 61.

Step 1:
The number 61 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 61

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 62 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 61 from 62 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 61

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 16 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 168 / 61

On to step 4:
When dividing 168 by 61, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 102.0
If we take 122 away from 168, we end up with 46.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 467 / 61

Moving on to step 5:
467 divided by 61 is 7 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1027.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 427 from 467.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
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: 1027.6
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
340 divided by 61 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1027.65
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.

Step 8:
61 goes into 350 5 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1027.655
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.

After the division, we end up with 1027.655 and a remainder of 0.0045.
