Let's divide 461287 by 75
We want to figure out the number of times 461287 can be divided by 75.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 75, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 75

Going ahead to step 2:
46 divided by 75 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 461 / 75

On to step 3:
When dividing 461 by 75, we get 6 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 450 from 461 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 112 / 75

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 112 by 75, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we take 75 away from 112, we end up with 37.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 378 / 75

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 75 fits into 378 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 615.0
Deduct 375 from 378 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 75

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 37 by 75, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6150.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
75 can be fit into 370 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6150.4
If we subtract 300 from 370, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 700 by 75, we get 9 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6150.49
If we take 675 away from 700, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
250 divided by 75 is 3 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6150.493
Subtract 225 from 250 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 250 by 75, we get 3 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6150.4933
If we subtract 225 from 250, we 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.

The final outcome is 6150.4933, with a leftover of 0.00025.
