2004 divided by 97 
We want to divide 2004 by 97.

On to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
The number 97 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 200 / 97

Step 3:
97 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 194 from 200 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 97

Going ahead to step 4:
97 can be fit into 64 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 0 from 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 5:
97 goes into 640 6 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.6
If we take 582 away from 640, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 580 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 95.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.65
Deduct 485 from 580 and we're left with 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 97 fits into 950 9 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.659
Deduct 873 from 950 and we're left with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
770 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 91.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.6597
Subtracting 679 from 770 leaves us with 91.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 910 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.65979
Subtract 873 from 910 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 370 by 97, we get 3 and a remainder of 79.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.659793
Deduct 291 from 370 and we're left with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 790 by 97, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.6597938
Deduct 776 from 790 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
140 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.65979381
Deduct 97 from 140 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 20.65979381 and a remainder of 4.3e-08.
