Let's divide 164857 by 96
Our goal is to divide 164857 by 96.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 96 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 96

On to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 96, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 164 / 96

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 164 by 96, we get 1 with a remainder of 68.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 96 from 164 to get 68.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 688 / 96

Going ahead to step 4:
96 goes into 688 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 672 from 688 to get 16.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 165 / 96

Advancing to step 5:
96 goes into 165 1 times with a remainder of 69.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171.0
Deduct 96 from 165 and we're left with 69.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 697 / 96

On to step 6:
96 can be fit into 697 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1717.0
If we take 672 away from 697, we end up with 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 7:
250 divided by 96 is 2 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1717.2
Deduct 192 from 250 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
580 divided by 96 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1717.26
Subtract 576 from 580 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 96, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1717.26
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
96 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1717.2604
Subtracting 384 from 400 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 96, we get 1 and a remainder of 64.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1717.26041
If we take 96 away from 160, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 640 by 96, we get 6 and a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1717.260416
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 640 by 96, we get 6 with a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1717.2604166
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 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 1717.2604166 with a remainder of 6.4e-07.
