We're dividing 878643 by 97 
We want to figure out the number of times 878643 can be divided by 97.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 87.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 87, we get 87.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 87, then carry on: 878 / 97

Step 3:
If we divide 878 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 873 from 878 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 97

Advancing to step 4:
97 can be fit into 56 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 90.0
Subtract 0 from 56 to get 56.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 564 / 97

Step 5:
The number 97 fits into 564 5 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 905.0
Subtracting 485 from 564 leaves us with 79.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 79 and repeat the process: 793 / 97

Moving on to step 6:
97 goes into 793 8 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9058.0
If we take 776 away from 793, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 97 fits into 170 1 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9058.1
Deduct 97 from 170 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
97 can be fit into 730 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9058.17
Subtract 679 from 730 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 510 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9058.175
If we subtract 485 from 510, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
97 can be fit into 250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9058.1752
Deduct 194 from 250 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
560 divided by 97 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9058.17525
Subtract 485 from 560 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 750 by 97, we get 7 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9058.175257
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 679 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 710 by 97, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9058.1752577
Subtract 679 from 710 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9058.1752577, and the remainder is 3.1e-07.
