We divide 279556 by 61
We want to figure out the number of times 279556 can be divided by 61.

Going ahead to step 1:
61 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 61

Advancing to step 2:
61 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 279 / 61

Step 3:
If we divide 279 by 61, we get 4 and a remainder of 35.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 244 from 279 leaves us with 35.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 355 / 61

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 61 fits into 355 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we take 305 away from 355, we end up with 50.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 505 / 61

Step 5:
505 divided by 61 is 8 with a remainder of 17.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 458.0
If we take 488 away from 505, we end up with 17.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 176 / 61

Let's proceed to step 6:
61 goes into 176 2 times with a remainder of 54.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4582.0
If we take 122 away from 176, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
61 goes into 540 8 times with a remainder of 52.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4582.8
If we take 488 away from 540, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 61 fits into 520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4582.88
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 488 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4582.88 with a remaining 0.032.
