We divide 378687 by 97
We want to figure out the number of times 378687 can be divided by 97.

On to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
97 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 37 to get 37.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 378 / 97

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 378 by 97, we get 3 with a remainder of 87.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 291 from 378, we get 87.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 87, then repeat: 876 / 97

Advancing to step 4:
876 divided by 97 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 873 from 876.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 97

On to step 5:
97 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 390.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 387 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 387 by 97, we get 3 and a remainder of 96.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3903.0
If we subtract 291 from 387, we get 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 7:
If we divide 960 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 87.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3903.9
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 873 from 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
97 can be fit into 870 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3903.98
Deduct 776 from 870 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 940 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 67.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3903.989
If we take 873 away from 940, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 10:
670 divided by 97 is 6 with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3903.9896
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.

Step 11:
880 divided by 97 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3903.98969
Deduct 873 from 880 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
97 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3903.98969
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 13:
97 can be fit into 700 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3903.9896907
If we subtract 679 from 700, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
210 divided by 97 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3903.98969072
If we take 194 away from 210, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3903.98969072 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
