Let's divide 23494 by 97
Let's see how many times 97 fits into 23494.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
97 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 234 / 97

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 234 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 194 from 234 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 97 fits into 409 4 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 388 away from 409, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 214 / 97

On to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 214 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 242.0
If we take 194 away from 214, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 200 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 242.2
Deduct 194 from 200 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
97 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 242.2
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 600 by 97, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 242.206
If we subtract 582 from 600, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 97 fits into 180 1 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 242.2061
If we take 97 away from 180, we end up with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
97 can be fit into 830 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 242.20618
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 776 from 830.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 97 fits into 540 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 242.206185
If we take 485 away from 540, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 12:
97 can be fit into 550 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 242.2061855
If we take 485 away from 550, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 242.2061855 with a balance of 6.5e-07.
