Let's divide 489917 by 61
We want to figure out the number of times 489917 can be divided by 61.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 61

On to step 2:
61 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 48 to get 48.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 489 / 61

Advancing to step 3:
489 divided by 61 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 488 from 489 to get 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 61

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 19 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 80.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 191 / 61

On to step 5:
61 can be fit into 191 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 803.0
Deduct 183 from 191 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 61

Moving on to step 6:
The number 61 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8031.0
Subtracting 61 from 87 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 61, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8031.4
Subtracting 244 from 260 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
The number 61 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8031.42
If we subtract 122 from 160, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
380 divided by 61 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8031.426
Deduct 366 from 380 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 61 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8031.4262
Subtract 122 from 140 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
61 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8031.42622
Subtracting 122 from 180 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8031.42622 and a remainder of 5.8e-05.
