We're dividing 960973 by 61 
Our goal is to divide 960973 by 61.

Step 1:
The number 61 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 61

Moving on to step 2:
61 goes into 96 1 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 61 from 96 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 350 / 61

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 350 by 61, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 305 from 350 to get 45.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 459 / 61

Moving on to step 4:
The number 61 fits into 459 7 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 157.0
Subtracting 427 from 459 leaves us with 32.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 327 / 61

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 327 by 61, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1575.0
Subtract 305 from 327 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 223 / 61

On to step 6:
When dividing 223 by 61, we get 3 with a remainder of 40.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15753.0
If we take 183 away from 223, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 400 by 61, we get 6 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15753.6
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 366 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
340 divided by 61 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15753.65
Subtract 305 from 340 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 61 fits into 350 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15753.655
If we take 305 away from 350, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15753.655 with a balance of 0.0045.
