Let's divide 724523 by 61
We want to divide 724523 by 61.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 61

On to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 61 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 114 / 61

Let's proceed to step 3:
61 can be fit into 114 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 61 from 114, we get 53.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 535 / 61

Advancing to step 4:
535 divided by 61 is 8 with a remainder of 47.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118.0
Subtract 488 from 535 to get 47.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 472 / 61

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 61 fits into 472 7 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1187.0
Subtracting 427 from 472 leaves us with 45.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 453 / 61

Advancing to step 6:
453 divided by 61 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11877.0
Deduct 427 from 453 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
61 can be fit into 260 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11877.4
Deduct 244 from 260 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 160 by 61, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11877.42
Subtract 122 from 160 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
61 goes into 380 6 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11877.426
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 366 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 140 by 61, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11877.4262
If we take 122 away from 140, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 11:
180 divided by 61 is 2 with a remainder of 58.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11877.42622
If we subtract 122 from 180, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11877.42622 and a remainder of 5.8e-05.
