Let's divide 260787 by 97
We want to figure out the number of times 260787 can be divided by 97.

Going ahead to step 1:
97 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 97

Going ahead to step 2:
97 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 260 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
97 can be fit into 260 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 194 from 260, we get 66.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 667 / 97

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 667 by 97, we get 6 with a remainder of 85.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 582 away from 667, we end up with 85.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 85, then carry on: 858 / 97

Step 5:
The number 97 fits into 858 8 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 268.0
Subtracting 776 from 858 leaves us with 82.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 82, then repeat: 827 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 827 by 97, we get 8 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2688.0
Deduct 776 from 827 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 510 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2688.5
Subtract 485 from 510 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 8:
The number 97 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2688.52
If we take 194 away from 250, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 560 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2688.525
Subtracting 485 from 560 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 750 by 97, we get 7 and a remainder of 71.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2688.5257
Subtract 679 from 750 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
710 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2688.52577
Subtract 679 from 710 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final result is 2688.52577 with a remainder of 3.1e-05.
