We divide 42729173 by 97
We're looking to find how many times 97 goes into 42729173.

Step 1:
97 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 97

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 427 / 97

On to step 3:
If we divide 427 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 39.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 388 from 427 to get 39.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 392 / 97

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 392 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 388 from 392 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 97

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 440.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 491 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 491 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 6.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4405.0
Subtracting 485 from 491 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 67 / 97

On to step 7:
67 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 67.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44050.0
Deduct 0 from 67 and we're left with 67.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 673 / 97

Step 8:
If we divide 673 by 97, we get 6 and a remainder of 91.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 440506.0
Deduct 582 from 673 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.

Moving on to step 9:
97 goes into 910 9 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 440506.9
Subtract 873 from 910 to 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.

Step 10:
370 divided by 97 is 3 with a remainder of 79.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 440506.93
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 291 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 11:
97 goes into 790 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 440506.938
If we take 776 away from 790, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
97 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 440506.9381
If we subtract 97 from 140, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
97 goes into 430 4 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 440506.93814
If we subtract 388 from 430, we get 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 14:
If we divide 420 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 440506.938144
Deduct 388 from 420 and we're left 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.

The final result is 440506.938144 with a remainder of 3.2e-06.
