Let's divide 242097 by 97
Let's see how many times 97 fits into 242097.

Advancing to step 1:
97 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 97

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 97

On to step 3:
242 divided by 97 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 194 from 242 to get 48.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 480 / 97

Going ahead to step 4:
97 goes into 480 4 times with a remainder of 92.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 388 away from 480, we end up with 92.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 92 and continue with: 929 / 97

Step 5:
When dividing 929 by 97, we get 9 with a remainder of 56.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 249.0
Subtracting 873 from 929 leaves us with 56.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 567 / 97

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 567 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 82.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2495.0
If we take 485 away from 567, we end up with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
97 can be fit into 820 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2495.8
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 776 from 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
440 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2495.84
If we take 388 away from 440, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
520 divided by 97 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2495.845
If we subtract 485 from 520, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 350 by 97, we get 3 with a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2495.8453
Subtract 291 from 350 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
97 goes into 590 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2495.84536
Deduct 582 from 590 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 97 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2495.84536
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
97 goes into 800 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2495.8453608
Subtract 776 from 800 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 240 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2495.84536082
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 194 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

The final result is 2495.84536082 with a remainder of 4.6e-08.
