Let's divide 869973 by 61
We're looking to find how many times 61 goes into 869973.

On to step 1:
61 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 61

On to step 2:
The number 61 fits into 86 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 61 from 86, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 259 / 61

Advancing to step 3:
259 divided by 61 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 244 from 259 to get 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 61

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 159 by 61, we get 2 with a remainder of 37.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142.0
Subtract 122 from 159 to get 37.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 377 / 61

Step 5:
61 goes into 377 6 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1426.0
Subtracting 366 from 377 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 113 / 61

Step 6:
61 can be fit into 113 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14261.0
If we subtract 61 from 113, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 61 fits into 520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14261.8
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 61, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14261.85
If we subtract 305 from 320, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
61 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14261.852
If we subtract 122 from 150, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 280 by 61, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14261.8524
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.

Moving on to step 11:
61 can be fit into 360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14261.85245
Subtract 305 from 360 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
61 can be fit into 550 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14261.852459
Subtracting 549 from 550 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
61 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14261.852459
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.

On to step 14:
100 divided by 61 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14261.85245901
Deduct 61 from 100 and we're left 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.

The final result is 14261.85245901 with a remainder of 3.9e-08.
