We're dividing 240739 by 61 
Our goal is to divide 240739 by 61.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 61

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 61 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 240 / 61

On to step 3:
When dividing 240 by 61, we get 3 with a remainder of 57.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 183 from 240.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 577 / 61

Advancing to step 4:
61 goes into 577 9 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 549 from 577.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 283 / 61

Step 5:
When dividing 283 by 61, we get 4 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 394.0
Subtract 244 from 283 to get 39.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 399 / 61

Going ahead to step 6:
61 goes into 399 6 times with a remainder of 33.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3946.0
Subtracting 366 from 399 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
61 can be fit into 330 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3946.5
Subtracting 305 from 330 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
250 divided by 61 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3946.54
Subtracting 244 from 250 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3946.54
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
61 goes into 600 9 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3946.5409
Subtract 549 from 600 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 510 by 61, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3946.54098
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.

Step 12:
220 divided by 61 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3946.540983
If we subtract 183 from 220, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 370 by 61, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3946.5409836
If we take 366 away from 370, we end up 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 14:
61 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3946.5409836
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3946.5409836, and the remainder is 4e-08.
