We look at the division of 861778 by 97 
We want to figure out the number of times 861778 can be divided by 97.

Moving on to step 1:
97 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 can be fit into 86 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 86, we get 86.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 86 and continue: 861 / 97

On to step 3:
The number 97 fits into 861 8 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 776 from 861, we get 85.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 857 / 97

Step 4:
857 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 81.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtract 776 from 857 to get 81.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 81, then carry on: 817 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
97 goes into 817 8 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 888.0
Subtract 776 from 817 to get 41.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 418 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 418 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8884.0
Deduct 388 from 418 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 97, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8884.3
Subtract 291 from 300 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
97 can be fit into 90 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8884.3
The remainder is 90 after subtracting 0 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
97 goes into 900 9 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8884.309
Subtract 873 from 900 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
97 can be fit into 270 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8884.3092
Deduct 194 from 270 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
760 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8884.30927
Deduct 679 from 760 and we're left with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
810 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8884.309278
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 776 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
97 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 49.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8884.3092783
Deduct 291 from 340 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 490 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8884.30927835
Subtract 485 from 490 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8884.30927835 with a balance of 5e-09.
