Let's divide 617259 by 99
We want to figure out the number of times 617259 can be divided by 99.

On to step 1:
99 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 99

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 61 by 99, we get 0 with a remainder of 61.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 61 to get 61.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 617 / 99

Moving on to step 3:
99 goes into 617 6 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 594 from 617, we get 23.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 232 / 99

On to step 4:
232 divided by 99 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we take 198 away from 232, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 345 / 99

On to step 5:
When dividing 345 by 99, we get 3 with a remainder of 48.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 623.0
Subtracting 297 from 345 leaves us with 48.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 99

Moving on to step 6:
The number 99 fits into 489 4 times, leaving a remainder of 93.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6234.0
The remainder is 93 after subtracting 396 from 489.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Step 7:
99 can be fit into 930 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6234.9
Deduct 891 from 930 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 8:
99 can be fit into 390 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 93.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6234.93
The remainder is 93 after subtracting 297 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
99 goes into 930 9 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6234.939
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 891 from 930.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
390 divided by 99 is 3 with a remainder of 93.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6234.9393
If we subtract 297 from 390, we get 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
99 can be fit into 930 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6234.93939
Deduct 891 from 930 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
99 goes into 390 3 times with a remainder of 93.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6234.939393
Deduct 297 from 390 and we're left with 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 99 fits into 930 9 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6234.9393939
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 891 from 930.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
99 goes into 390 3 times with a remainder of 93.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6234.93939393
If we take 297 away from 390, we end up with 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6234.93939393 and a remainder of 9.3e-08.
