We divide 285115 by 61
We want to divide 285115 by 61.

On to step 1:
The number 61 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 61

On to step 2:
28 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 285 / 61

On to step 3:
61 can be fit into 285 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 244 from 285, we get 41.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 411 / 61

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 411 by 61, we get 6 and a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 366 from 411 leaves us with 45.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 451 / 61

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 451 by 61, we get 7 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 467.0
Subtracting 427 from 451 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 245 / 61

Step 6:
When dividing 245 by 61, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4674.0
If we subtract 244 from 245, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
61 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4674.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
100 divided by 61 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4674.01
If we subtract 61 from 100, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 390 by 61, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4674.016
Subtracting 366 from 390 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
61 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 57.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4674.0163
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 183 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 61 fits into 570 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4674.01639
If we subtract 549 from 570, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 210 by 61, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4674.016393
If we take 183 away from 210, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 270 by 61, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4674.0163934
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 244 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
61 can be fit into 260 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4674.01639344
Deduct 244 from 260 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4674.01639344 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
