| = | 511 500 | + | r | ( | 1 | + | 11 500 | ) |
| = | 511 500 | + | r | × | 1 | + | r | × | 11 500 |
| = | 511 500 | + | 511 500 | r |
1047 1000 | = | 511 500 | + | 511 500 | r |
| - | 511 500 | r | = | 511 500 | − | 1047 1000 |
| - | 511 500 | r | = | - | 1 40 |
1 40 | = | 511 500 | r |
511 500 | r | = | 1 40 |
| r | = | 1 40 | ÷ | 511 500 |
