We're dividing 452684 by 97 
Our goal is to divide 452684 by 97.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 goes into 45 0 times with a remainder of 45.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 45 to get 45.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 452 / 97

Step 3:
97 goes into 452 4 times with a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 388 away from 452, we end up with 64.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 646 / 97

Step 4:
646 divided by 97 is 6 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 582 from 646.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 648 / 97

On to step 5:
When dividing 648 by 97, we get 6 with a remainder of 66.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 466.0
If we take 582 away from 648, we end up with 66.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 664 / 97

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 664 by 97, we get 6 with a remainder of 82.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4666.0
If we subtract 582 from 664, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 820 by 97, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4666.8
If we take 776 away from 820, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 8:
440 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4666.84
Subtracting 388 from 440 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
97 goes into 520 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4666.845
Deduct 485 from 520 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
97 goes into 350 3 times with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4666.8453
If we subtract 291 from 350, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
590 divided by 97 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4666.84536
Subtract 582 from 590 to get 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 12:
The number 97 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4666.84536
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
97 goes into 800 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4666.8453608
Subtract 776 from 800 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 97 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4666.84536082
Subtracting 194 from 240 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

The final result is 4666.84536082 with a remainder of 4.6e-08.
