We look at the division of 596241 by 61 
We're looking to find how many times 61 goes into 596241.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 61

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 61 fits into 59 0 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 0 from 59.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 596 / 61

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 596 by 61, we get 9 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 549 from 596.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 472 / 61

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 472 by 61, we get 7 with a remainder of 45.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97.0
Subtracting 427 from 472 leaves us with 45.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 454 / 61

Advancing to step 5:
The number 61 fits into 454 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 977.0
Subtracting 427 from 454 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 271 / 61

On to step 6:
When dividing 271 by 61, we get 4 with a remainder of 27.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9774.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 244 from 271.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 270 by 61, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9774.4
If we take 244 away from 270, we end up 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.

Step 8:
The number 61 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9774.44
Subtract 244 from 260 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9774.44, and the remainder is 0.016.
