We're dividing 423397 by 97 
Our goal is to divide 423397 by 97.

Step 1:
The number 97 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 97

On to step 2:
97 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 423 / 97

On to step 3:
If we divide 423 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 388 away from 423, we end up with 35.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 353 / 97

Step 4:
97 goes into 353 3 times with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 291 from 353.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 629 / 97

On to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 629 6 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 436.0
Subtracting 582 from 629 leaves us with 47.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 477 / 97

Step 6:
477 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 89.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4364.0
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 388 from 477.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Step 7:
890 divided by 97 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4364.9
Subtracting 873 from 890 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 170 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4364.91
If we subtract 97 from 170, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 730 by 97, we get 7 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4364.917
Subtracting 679 from 730 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
510 divided by 97 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4364.9175
Deduct 485 from 510 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
250 divided by 97 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4364.91752
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 194 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 12:
97 goes into 560 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4364.917525
Subtracting 485 from 560 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 13:
97 goes into 750 7 times with a remainder of 71.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4364.9175257
Deduct 679 from 750 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
97 can be fit into 710 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4364.91752577
Deduct 679 from 710 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4364.91752577, with a leftover of 3.1e-08.
