124871 divided by 61 
Let's see how many times 61 fits into 124871.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 61

Advancing to step 2:
The number 61 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 61

Advancing to step 3:
61 can be fit into 124 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 122 from 124 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 61

Moving on to step 4:
61 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 287 / 61

Let's proceed to step 5:
287 divided by 61 is 4 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 204.0
Subtracting 244 from 287 leaves us with 43.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 431 / 61

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 431 by 61, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2047.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 427 from 431.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
61 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2047.0
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 8:
The number 61 fits into 400 6 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2047.06
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 366 from 400.
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 9:
61 goes into 340 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2047.065
Subtract 305 from 340 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 61 fits into 350 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2047.0655
If we subtract 305 from 350, we 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 2047.0655 with a remaining 0.00045.
