We look at the division of 431981 by 96 
We're looking to find how many times 96 goes into 431981.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 96 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 96

Step 2:
43 divided by 96 is 0 with a remainder of 43.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 43, we get 43.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 431 / 96

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 431 by 96, we get 4 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 384 from 431 and we're left with 47.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 479 / 96

Moving on to step 4:
The number 96 fits into 479 4 times, leaving a remainder of 95.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 384 from 479 to get 95.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 95 and repeat the process: 958 / 96

On to step 5:
96 goes into 958 9 times with a remainder of 94.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 449.0
Subtract 864 from 958 to get 94.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 94 and continue with: 941 / 96

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 941 by 96, we get 9 with a remainder of 77.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4499.0
Subtract 864 from 941 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 96 fits into 770 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4499.8
Subtract 768 from 770 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
96 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4499.8
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
96 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4499.802
Subtracting 192 from 200 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
96 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4499.802
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
800 divided by 96 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4499.80208
Deduct 768 from 800 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 96 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4499.802083
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
96 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4499.8020833
If we subtract 288 from 320, 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.

The quotient of the division is 4499.8020833, and the remainder is 3.2e-07.
