12604 divided by 97 
We're looking to find how many times 97 goes into 12604.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 97

Going ahead to step 2:
12 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 126 / 97

On to step 3:
97 goes into 126 1 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 97 from 126 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 290 / 97

On to step 4:
97 goes into 290 2 times with a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 194 from 290 to get 96.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 96 and continue with: 964 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
97 goes into 964 9 times with a remainder of 91.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 129.0
Deduct 873 from 964 and we're left with 91.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
97 goes into 910 9 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 129.9
If we subtract 873 from 910, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 370 by 97, we get 3 with a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 129.93
Subtract 291 from 370 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
97 can be fit into 790 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 129.938
If we subtract 776 from 790, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 97 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 129.9381
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 97 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
97 can be fit into 430 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 129.93814
Deduct 388 from 430 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 97 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 129.938144
Subtracting 388 from 420 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 129.938144 with a balance of 3.2e-06.
