493481 divided by 97 
We're looking to find how many times 97 goes into 493481.

Let's proceed to 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
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
97 can be fit into 49 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 49, we end up with 49.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 493 / 97

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 493 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 485 from 493.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 97

Moving on to step 4:
97 can be fit into 84 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 84 to get 84.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 84 and continue: 848 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
848 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 508.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 776 from 848.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 721 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
97 goes into 721 7 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5087.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 679 from 721.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
420 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5087.4
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.

On to step 8:
The number 97 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5087.43
Deduct 291 from 320 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
290 divided by 97 is 2 with a remainder of 96.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5087.432
If we take 194 away from 290, we end up with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 97 fits into 960 9 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5087.4329
If we take 873 away from 960, we end up with 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 870 by 97, we get 8 and a remainder of 94.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5087.43298
If we take 776 away from 870, we end up with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
97 goes into 940 9 times with a remainder of 67.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5087.432989
Subtract 873 from 940 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 670 by 97, we get 6 with a remainder of 88.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5087.4329896
Deduct 582 from 670 and we're left with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
97 goes into 880 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5087.43298969
If we take 873 away from 880, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5087.43298969, with a leftover of 7e-09.
