We divide 300872 by 61
Let's see how many times 61 fits into 300872.

On to step 1:
The number 61 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 61

Moving on to step 2:
The number 61 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 300 / 61

On to step 3:
If we divide 300 by 61, we get 4 and a remainder of 56.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 244 from 300, we get 56.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 568 / 61

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 568 by 61, we get 9 with a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 549 from 568.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 61

Moving on to step 5:
61 goes into 197 3 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 493.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 183 from 197.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 61

On to step 6:
If we divide 142 by 61, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4932.0
Subtracting 122 from 142 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
61 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4932.3
Deduct 183 from 200 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 61 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4932.32
If we subtract 122 from 170, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
61 goes into 480 7 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4932.327
Subtracting 427 from 480 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 530 by 61, we get 8 and a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4932.3278
If we take 488 away from 530, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 11:
420 divided by 61 is 6 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4932.32786
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 366 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 12:
540 divided by 61 is 8 with a remainder of 52.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4932.327868
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 488 from 540.
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 13:
When dividing 520 by 61, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4932.3278688
Subtract 488 from 520 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4932.3278688 with a balance of 3.2e-07.
