Let's divide 460501 by 97
We want to divide 460501 by 97.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 0 from 46.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 460 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
460 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 388 from 460 and we're left with 72.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 725 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 725 by 97, we get 7 with a remainder of 46.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 679 away from 725, we end up with 46.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 460 / 97

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 460 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 474.0
Subtract 388 from 460 to get 72.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 721 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
721 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4747.0
Deduct 679 from 721 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 97 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4747.4
If we subtract 388 from 420, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
320 divided by 97 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4747.43
If we subtract 291 from 320, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
97 can be fit into 290 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4747.432
Deduct 194 from 290 and we're left with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 97 fits into 960 9 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4747.4329
Deduct 873 from 960 and we're left with 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
870 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4747.43298
If we take 776 away from 870, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
940 divided by 97 is 9 with a remainder of 67.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4747.432989
Subtract 873 from 940 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 670 by 97, we get 6 and a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4747.4329896
If we take 582 away from 670, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 880 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4747.43298969
Subtracting 873 from 880 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4747.43298969, and the remainder is 7e-09.
