174979 ÷ 61 
Our goal is to divide 174979 by 61.

On to step 1:
61 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 61

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 61

Moving on to step 3:
61 goes into 174 2 times with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 122 from 174 and we're left with 52.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 529 / 61

Step 4:
The number 61 fits into 529 8 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 488 from 529 to get 41.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 417 / 61

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 417 by 61, we get 6 and a remainder of 51.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 286.0
Subtract 366 from 417 to get 51.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 519 / 61

Step 6:
When dividing 519 by 61, we get 8 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2868.0
If we subtract 488 from 519, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 61, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2868.5
Deduct 305 from 310 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
61 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2868.5
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 500 by 61, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2868.508
If we take 488 away from 500, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
61 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 59.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2868.5081
Subtract 61 from 120 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 590 by 61, we get 9 and a remainder of 41.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2868.50819
If we subtract 549 from 590, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 410 by 61, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2868.508196
Subtracting 366 from 410 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
61 can be fit into 440 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2868.5081967
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 427 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 130 by 61, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2868.50819672
Subtract 122 from 130 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2868.50819672 with a remaining 8e-09.
