We're dividing 987317 by 61 
We're looking to find how many times 61 goes into 987317.

Advancing to step 1:
61 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 61

Let's proceed to step 2:
61 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 61 from 98, we get 37.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 377 / 61

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 377 by 61, we get 6 with a remainder of 11.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 366 from 377 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 113 / 61

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 113 by 61, we get 1 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 161.0
If we subtract 61 from 113, we get 52.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 521 / 61

Let's proceed to step 5:
521 divided by 61 is 8 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1618.0
Deduct 488 from 521 and we're left with 33.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 337 / 61

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 337 by 61, we get 5 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16185.0
Deduct 305 from 337 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
61 goes into 320 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16185.5
Subtracting 305 from 320 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
61 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16185.52
If we take 122 away from 150, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
61 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16185.524
If we take 244 away from 280, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 360 by 61, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16185.5245
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 305 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 550 by 61, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16185.52459
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 549 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
61 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16185.52459
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16185.5245901
Subtracting 61 from 100 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
61 can be fit into 390 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16185.52459016
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 366 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16185.52459016, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
