165901 ÷ 97 
We want to divide 165901 by 97.

On to step 1:
97 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
97 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 165 / 97

Let's proceed to step 3:
165 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 68.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 97 from 165 and we're left with 68.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 689 / 97

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 689 by 97, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 679 from 689, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 100 / 97

Let's proceed to step 5:
100 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtract 97 from 100 to get 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
97 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1710.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
97 can be fit into 310 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1710.3
If we take 291 away from 310, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 190 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 93.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1710.31
If we subtract 97 from 190, we get 93.
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 9:
The number 97 fits into 930 9 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1710.319
Subtract 873 from 930 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 570 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1710.3195
If we take 485 away from 570, we end up with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 850 by 97, we get 8 and a remainder of 74.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1710.31958
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 776 from 850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 12:
97 goes into 740 7 times with a remainder of 61.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1710.319587
If we take 679 away from 740, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
97 can be fit into 610 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1710.3195876
If we take 582 away from 610, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
97 can be fit into 280 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1710.31958762
Subtract 194 from 280 to get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1710.31958762 with a balance of 8.6e-08.
