21997 divided by 89 
We're looking to find how many times 89 goes into 21997.

Step 1:
89 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 89

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 89, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 219 / 89

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 219 by 89, we get 2 with a remainder of 41.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 178 from 219 leaves us with 41.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 419 / 89

Advancing to step 4:
89 can be fit into 419 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 356 from 419 to get 63.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 637 / 89

On to step 5:
The number 89 fits into 637 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 247.0
If we take 623 away from 637, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 89 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 247.1
Subtract 89 from 140 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 510 by 89, we get 5 and a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 247.15
Deduct 445 from 510 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
89 goes into 650 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 247.157
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 623 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 270 by 89, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 247.1573
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 267 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
30 divided by 89 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 247.1573
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
89 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 247.157303
Subtract 267 from 300 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 89 fits into 330 3 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 247.1573033
Subtracting 267 from 330 leaves us with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Our division results in 247.1573033 with a remaining 6.3e-07.
