We look at the division of 77981 by 97 
We want to divide 77981 by 97.

On to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 97

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 77 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 77.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 77, we end up with 77.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 77, then repeat: 779 / 97

Step 3:
779 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 776 from 779.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 38 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 80.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 381 / 97

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 381 by 97, we get 3 and a remainder of 90.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 803.0
The remainder is 90 after subtracting 291 from 381.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Step 6:
97 can be fit into 900 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 803.9
If we subtract 873 from 900, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 270 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 76.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 803.92
If we take 194 away from 270, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 760 by 97, we get 7 with a remainder of 81.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 803.927
Subtracting 679 from 760 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Step 9:
97 can be fit into 810 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 803.9278
If we take 776 away from 810, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 97 fits into 340 3 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 803.92783
Deduct 291 from 340 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 490 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 803.927835
Deduct 485 from 490 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 97 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 803.927835
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
97 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 803.92783505
If we take 485 away from 500, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Our division results in 803.92783505 with a remaining 1.5e-08.
