We divide 742880 by 61
Our goal is to divide 742880 by 61.

Step 1:
The number 61 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 61

Moving on to step 2:
74 divided by 61 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 61 from 74.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 132 / 61

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 132 by 61, we get 2 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 122 from 132 to get 10.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 108 / 61

Advancing to step 4:
61 can be fit into 108 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we subtract 61 from 108, we get 47.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 478 / 61

Going ahead to step 5:
61 goes into 478 7 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1217.0
If we subtract 427 from 478, we get 51.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 510 / 61

Step 6:
61 can be fit into 510 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12178.0
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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 61, we get 3 with a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12178.3
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.

On to step 8:
61 goes into 370 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12178.36
Subtracting 366 from 370 leaves us with 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 9:
If we divide 40 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12178.36
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 61, we get 6 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12178.3606
If we take 366 away from 400, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
61 can be fit into 340 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12178.36065
If we take 305 away from 340, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
The number 61 fits into 350 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12178.360655
Subtract 305 from 350 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12178.360655 with a remaining 4.5e-06.
