Let's divide 71897 by 97
We want to figure out the number of times 71897 can be divided by 97.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 97 fits into 71 0 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 71 leaves us with 71.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 718 / 97

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 718 by 97, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 679 from 718.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 399 / 97

On to step 4:
399 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we subtract 388 from 399, we get 11.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 117 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
117 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 741.0
If we subtract 97 from 117, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 97 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 741.2
Deduct 194 from 200 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
60 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 741.2
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
600 divided by 97 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 741.206
If we take 582 away from 600, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 180 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 83.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 741.2061
If we take 97 away from 180, we end up with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
97 goes into 830 8 times with a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 741.20618
If we take 776 away from 830, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 97 fits into 540 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 741.206185
Deduct 485 from 540 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 550 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 741.2061855
Subtract 485 from 550 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 741.2061855 and a remainder of 6.5e-07.
