983581 ÷ 61 
We want to figure out the number of times 983581 can be divided by 61.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 61

Advancing to step 2:
61 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 61 away from 98, we end up with 37.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 373 / 61

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 373 by 61, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 366 from 373 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 61

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 75 by 61, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 161.0
If we subtract 61 from 75, we get 14.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 148 / 61

Moving on to step 5:
148 divided by 61 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1612.0
If we take 122 away from 148, we end up with 26.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 261 / 61

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 61 fits into 261 4 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16124.0
Deduct 244 from 261 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 61, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16124.2
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 122 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
61 can be fit into 480 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16124.27
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 427 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 530 by 61, we get 8 and a remainder of 42.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16124.278
Subtract 488 from 530 to get 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 10:
61 can be fit into 420 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16124.2786
Subtract 366 from 420 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 61 fits into 540 8 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16124.27868
Subtract 488 from 540 to 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 520 by 61, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16124.278688
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.

Our division results in 16124.278688 with a remaining 3.2e-06.
