We divide 487801 by 97
We want to divide 487801 by 97.

On to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 97

On to step 2:
97 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 487 / 97

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 487 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 485 from 487 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 97

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 28 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 280 / 97

On to step 5:
When dividing 280 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 86.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 502.0
Subtracting 194 from 280 leaves us with 86.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 861 / 97

On to step 6:
97 can be fit into 861 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5028.0
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 776 from 861.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
97 can be fit into 850 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5028.8
If we take 776 away from 850, we end up with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 97 fits into 740 7 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5028.87
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 679 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 97 fits into 610 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5028.876
If we take 582 away from 610, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 280 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5028.8762
If we take 194 away from 280, we end up with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 97 fits into 860 8 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5028.87628
Subtracting 776 from 860 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 97 fits into 840 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5028.876288
Deduct 776 from 840 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final result is 5028.876288 with a remainder of 6.4e-06.
