Let's divide 718997 by 97
We want to divide 718997 by 97.

Going ahead to step 1:
97 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 97

On to step 2:
97 goes into 71 0 times with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 71, we get 71.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 718 / 97

Step 3:
The number 97 fits into 718 7 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 679 from 718 leaves us with 39.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 399 / 97

Step 4:
97 goes into 399 4 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtracting 388 from 399 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 97

Moving on to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 119 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 741.0
Subtracting 97 from 119 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 227 / 97

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 227 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7412.0
If we take 194 away from 227, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
97 goes into 330 3 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7412.3
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 291 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 97 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7412.34
Subtracting 388 from 390 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
20 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7412.34
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7412.3402
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
97 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7412.3402
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 600 by 97, we get 6 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7412.340206
Subtracting 582 from 600 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
180 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 83.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7412.3402061
Subtracting 97 from 180 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 830 by 97, we get 8 with a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7412.34020618
Subtracting 776 from 830 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 7412.34020618 with a remaining 5.4e-08.
