509988 divided by 97 
We're looking to find how many times 97 goes into 509988.

Going ahead to step 1:
97 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 97

On to step 2:
The number 97 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 509 / 97

Step 3:
When dividing 509 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 24.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 485 from 509, we get 24.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 249 / 97

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 249 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 55.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtract 194 from 249 to get 55.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 558 / 97

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 558 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 525.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 485 from 558.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 738 / 97

Step 6:
738 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 59.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5257.0
If we take 679 away from 738, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 590 by 97, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5257.6
If we take 582 away from 590, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5257.6
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 9:
97 can be fit into 800 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5257.608
Deduct 776 from 800 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5257.6082
If we subtract 194 from 240, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 460 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5257.60824
Subtracting 388 from 460 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
97 can be fit into 720 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5257.608247
Subtract 679 from 720 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
410 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5257.6082474
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 388 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 14:
97 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5257.60824742
Deduct 194 from 220 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5257.60824742 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
