404992 divided by 97 
We want to divide 404992 by 97.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 97

On to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 404 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 404 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 388 from 404 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 97

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 169 by 97, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 97 from 169.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 729 / 97

On to step 5:
97 can be fit into 729 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 417.0
If we take 679 away from 729, we end up with 50.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 502 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
97 goes into 502 5 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4175.0
If we subtract 485 from 502, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 97, we get 1 with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4175.1
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.

Step 8:
730 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4175.17
If we take 679 away from 730, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
510 divided by 97 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4175.175
If we subtract 485 from 510, we 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.

Step 10:
The number 97 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4175.1752
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.

Advancing to step 11:
97 can be fit into 560 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4175.17525
Deduct 485 from 560 and we're left 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 12:
97 can be fit into 750 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4175.175257
If we take 679 away from 750, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 13:
97 can be fit into 710 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4175.1752577
If we take 679 away from 710, we end up with 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 outcome is 4175.1752577, with a leftover of 3.1e-07.
