Let's divide 173911 by 97
We want to divide 173911 by 97.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 97

Moving on to step 2:
97 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 173 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
97 goes into 173 1 times with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 97 from 173 to get 76.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 769 / 97

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 769 by 97, we get 7 and a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 679 from 769, we get 90.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 90, then repeat: 901 / 97

On to step 5:
If we divide 901 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we take 873 away from 901, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 281 / 97

Moving on to step 6:
97 goes into 281 2 times with a remainder of 87.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1792.0
If we subtract 194 from 281, we get 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
97 can be fit into 870 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 94.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1792.8
Subtracting 776 from 870 leaves us with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 940 by 97, we get 9 with a remainder of 67.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1792.89
Subtracting 873 from 940 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
97 goes into 670 6 times with a remainder of 88.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1792.896
Subtracting 582 from 670 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 880 by 97, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1792.8969
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 873 from 880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
97 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1792.8969
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
97 goes into 700 7 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1792.896907
Deduct 679 from 700 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 13:
97 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1792.8969072
Subtracting 194 from 210 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 160 by 97, we get 1 with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1792.89690721
If we take 97 away from 160, we end up 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 1792.89690721 with a remaining 6.3e-08.
