We divide 408781 by 97
We want to divide 408781 by 97.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 97

Step 2:
97 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 408 / 97

On to step 3:
97 goes into 408 4 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 388 from 408.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 207 / 97

Moving on to step 4:
97 goes into 207 2 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 194 from 207.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 97

Step 5:
138 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 421.0
Subtract 97 from 138 to get 41.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 411 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
411 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4214.0
Subtract 388 from 411 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 7:
97 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4214.2
Subtract 194 from 230 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
97 can be fit into 360 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4214.23
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 291 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
97 goes into 690 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4214.237
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 679 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
110 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4214.2371
Deduct 97 from 110 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
97 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4214.23711
Subtracting 97 from 130 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4214.23711 with a remaining 3.3e-05.
