Let's divide 405988 by 61
We want to figure out the number of times 405988 can be divided by 61.

Advancing to step 1:
61 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 61

Advancing to step 2:
61 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 405 / 61

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 405 by 61, we get 6 with a remainder of 39.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 366 away from 405, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 399 / 61

Step 4:
61 can be fit into 399 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 66.0
If we take 366 away from 399, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 338 / 61

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 338 by 61, we get 5 with a remainder of 33.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 665.0
Subtract 305 from 338 to get 33.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 338 / 61

Advancing to step 6:
338 divided by 61 is 5 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6655.0
Deduct 305 from 338 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 61 fits into 330 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6655.5
Subtract 305 from 330 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 61 fits into 250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6655.54
Deduct 244 from 250 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
60 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6655.54
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
61 can be fit into 600 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6655.5409
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 549 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 11:
61 goes into 510 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6655.54098
If we subtract 488 from 510, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
220 divided by 61 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6655.540983
If we subtract 183 from 220, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 370 by 61, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6655.5409836
If we subtract 366 from 370, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
40 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6655.5409836
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 6655.5409836 with a remainder of 4e-08.
