Let's divide 277059 by 61
Our goal is to divide 277059 by 61.

On to step 1:
The number 61 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 61

Moving on to step 2:
61 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 277 / 61

On to step 3:
61 goes into 277 4 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 244 from 277.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 330 / 61

Step 4:
330 divided by 61 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 305 from 330 and we're left with 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 61

Step 5:
61 can be fit into 255 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 454.0
If we take 244 away from 255, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 61

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 61 fits into 119 1 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4541.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 61 from 119.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 580 by 61, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4541.9
If we take 549 away from 580, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
61 goes into 310 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4541.95
If we subtract 305 from 310, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4541.95
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
500 divided by 61 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4541.9508
Deduct 488 from 500 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
120 divided by 61 is 1 with a remainder of 59.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4541.95081
Deduct 61 from 120 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 590 by 61, we get 9 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4541.950819
If we subtract 549 from 590, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 410 by 61, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4541.9508196
If we subtract 366 from 410, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 61 fits into 440 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4541.95081967
If we take 427 away from 440, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4541.95081967 with a remaining 1.3e-08.
