We divide 282986 by 61
We want to figure out the number of times 282986 can be divided by 61.

On to step 1:
The number 61 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 61

Step 2:
61 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 282 / 61

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 282 by 61, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 244 from 282 and we're left with 38.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 389 / 61

Going ahead to step 4:
389 divided by 61 is 6 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 366 from 389, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 61

On to step 5:
238 divided by 61 is 3 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 463.0
If we subtract 183 from 238, we get 55.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 556 / 61

Step 6:
If we divide 556 by 61, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4639.0
Subtracting 549 from 556 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4639.1
If we take 61 away from 70, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 61 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4639.11
If we take 61 away from 90, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4639.11 with a balance of 0.029.
