178221 divided by 97 
We want to divide 178221 by 97.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 97

Moving on to step 2:
97 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
178 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 97 away from 178, we end up with 81.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 81 and repeat the process: 812 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 97 fits into 812 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 776 away from 812, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 362 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
97 can be fit into 362 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 183.0
If we take 291 away from 362, we end up with 71.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 711 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 711 by 97, we get 7 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1837.0
If we subtract 679 from 711, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
97 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1837.3
Subtract 291 from 320 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 290 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 96.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1837.32
Deduct 194 from 290 and we're left with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
97 goes into 960 9 times with a remainder of 87.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1837.329
Deduct 873 from 960 and we're left with 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 870 by 97, we get 8 and a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1837.3298
Deduct 776 from 870 and we're left with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
940 divided by 97 is 9 with a remainder of 67.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1837.32989
If we take 873 away from 940, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 670 by 97, we get 6 and a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1837.329896
Subtracting 582 from 670 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 97 fits into 880 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1837.3298969
If we subtract 873 from 880, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
70 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1837.3298969
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1837.3298969 with a balance of 7e-08.
