279287 divided by 61 
Our goal is to divide 279287 by 61.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 61

Step 2:
If we divide 27 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 61

Advancing to step 3:
The number 61 fits into 279 4 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 244 from 279 to get 35.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 352 / 61

Advancing to step 4:
352 divided by 61 is 5 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtracting 305 from 352 leaves us with 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 478 / 61

Moving on to step 5:
The number 61 fits into 478 7 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 457.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 427 from 478.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 517 / 61

Going ahead to step 6:
61 goes into 517 8 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4578.0
Subtract 488 from 517 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
61 can be fit into 290 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4578.4
Subtract 244 from 290 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
460 divided by 61 is 7 with a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4578.47
Subtract 427 from 460 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
330 divided by 61 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4578.475
If we subtract 305 from 330, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 10:
61 goes into 250 4 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4578.4754
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 244 from 250.
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 11:
The number 61 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4578.4754
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
61 can be fit into 600 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4578.475409
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 549 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 510 by 61, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4578.4754098
Subtracting 488 from 510 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 220 by 61, we get 3 and a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4578.47540983
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 183 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4578.47540983, and the remainder is 3.7e-08.
