We look at the division of 871704 by 61 
We're looking to find how many times 61 goes into 871704.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 61 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 61

On to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 61 from 87 and we're left with 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 61

Step 3:
261 divided by 61 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 244 from 261 to get 17.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 177 / 61

Going ahead to step 4:
61 goes into 177 2 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142.0
Subtracting 122 from 177 leaves us with 55.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 550 / 61

Step 5:
The number 61 fits into 550 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1429.0
Deduct 549 from 550 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 61

Step 6:
61 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 14290.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 61, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14290.2
Subtract 122 from 140 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
61 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14290.22
Subtracting 122 from 180 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 14290.22, and the remainder is 0.058.
