We're dividing 144991 by 61 
We're looking to find how many times 61 goes into 144991.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 61

Advancing to step 2:
61 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 61

Step 3:
The number 61 fits into 144 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 122 from 144 to get 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 61

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 229 by 61, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 183 from 229 and we're left with 46.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 469 / 61

Going ahead to step 5:
61 goes into 469 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 237.0
Deduct 427 from 469 and we're left with 42.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 421 / 61

Step 6:
421 divided by 61 is 6 with a remainder of 55.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2376.0
If we subtract 366 from 421, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 550 by 61, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2376.9
If we take 549 away from 550, we end up 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 8:
61 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2376.9
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 61, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2376.901
If we subtract 61 from 100, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 61 fits into 390 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2376.9016
If we subtract 366 from 390, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
240 divided by 61 is 3 with a remainder of 57.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2376.90163
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 183 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 61 fits into 570 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2376.901639
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 549 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 210 by 61, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2376.9016393
If we subtract 183 from 210, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 270 by 61, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2376.90163934
Subtract 244 from 270 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2376.90163934 and a remainder of 2.6e-08.
