Let's divide 538173 by 96
We want to figure out the number of times 538173 can be divided by 96.

Advancing to step 1:
96 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 96

Step 2:
If we divide 53 by 96, we get 0 and a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 53 and we're left with 53.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 538 / 96

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 96 fits into 538 5 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 480 from 538 and we're left with 58.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 581 / 96

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 581 by 96, we get 6 with a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we take 576 away from 581, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 96

Step 5:
57 divided by 96 is 0 with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 560.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 0 from 57.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 573 / 96

Step 6:
When dividing 573 by 96, we get 5 with a remainder of 93.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5605.0
The remainder is 93 after subtracting 480 from 573.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
96 goes into 930 9 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5605.9
Subtracting 864 from 930 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 660 by 96, we get 6 and a remainder of 84.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5605.96
Subtract 576 from 660 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 840 by 96, we get 8 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5605.968
Deduct 768 from 840 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 720 by 96, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5605.9687
Subtracting 672 from 720 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 480 by 96, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5605.96875
If we take 480 away from 480, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 0 by 96, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5605.96875
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
96 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5605.96875
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5605.96875 and a remainder of 0.0.
