Let's divide 249631 by 97
We want to divide 249631 by 97.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 97

Moving on to step 2:
97 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 249 / 97

Moving on to step 3:
97 goes into 249 2 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 194 away from 249, we end up with 55.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 556 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 556 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 485 from 556.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 713 / 97

Advancing to step 5:
97 can be fit into 713 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 257.0
Subtracting 679 from 713 leaves us with 34.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 341 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
341 divided by 97 is 3 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2573.0
Subtracting 291 from 341 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 97 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2573.5
Deduct 485 from 500 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2573.51
If we take 97 away from 150, we end up with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 530 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2573.515
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 485 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 97 fits into 450 4 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2573.5154
If we subtract 388 from 450, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 97 fits into 620 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2573.51546
Deduct 582 from 620 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 97, we get 3 and a remainder of 89.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2573.515463
Subtracting 291 from 380 leaves us with 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 890 by 97, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2573.5154639
If we take 873 away from 890, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
97 can be fit into 170 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2573.51546391
If we subtract 97 from 170, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2573.51546391, with a leftover of 7.3e-08.
