We're dividing 487428 by 97 
We want to divide 487428 by 97.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 97

Step 2:
48 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 487 / 97

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 487 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 485 from 487, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 97

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 24 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 97

Advancing to step 5:
97 goes into 242 2 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 502.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 194 from 242.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 488 / 97

Step 6:
488 divided by 97 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5025.0
Deduct 485 from 488 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
30 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5025.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 97, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5025.03
If we subtract 291 from 300, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 90 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 90.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5025.03
Subtracting 0 from 90 leaves us with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Step 10:
97 can be fit into 900 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5025.0309
Subtract 873 from 900 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 97 fits into 270 2 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5025.03092
Subtract 194 from 270 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
97 goes into 760 7 times with a remainder of 81.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5025.030927
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 679 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
97 can be fit into 810 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5025.0309278
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 776 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
97 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5025.03092783
Subtract 291 from 340 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5025.03092783 and a remainder of 4.9e-08.
