24597 divided by 97 
We want to figure out the number of times 24597 can be divided by 97.

On to step 1:
97 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 97

Step 2:
When dividing 24 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 245 / 97

Let's proceed to step 3:
97 can be fit into 245 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 194 from 245 leaves us with 51.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 519 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 519 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 34.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 485 from 519 and we're left with 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 347 / 97

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 347 by 97, we get 3 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 253.0
Subtract 291 from 347 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
560 divided by 97 is 5 with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 253.5
Subtract 485 from 560 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 7:
750 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 253.57
Subtracting 679 from 750 leaves us with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
97 goes into 710 7 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 253.577
Deduct 679 from 710 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final result is 253.577 with a remainder of 0.0031.
