We divide 420973 by 97
Our goal is to divide 420973 by 97.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 420 / 97

Step 3:
The number 97 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 388 from 420 and we're left with 32.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 329 / 97

Step 4:
The number 97 fits into 329 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 291 away from 329, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 387 / 97

Step 5:
When dividing 387 by 97, we get 3 with a remainder of 96.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 433.0
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 291 from 387.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 96 and repeat the process: 963 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 963 by 97, we get 9 with a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4339.0
If we take 873 away from 963, we end up with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
900 divided by 97 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4339.9
Subtract 873 from 900 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
270 divided by 97 is 2 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4339.92
Subtracting 194 from 270 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 97 fits into 760 7 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4339.927
If we subtract 679 from 760, we get 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 10:
810 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4339.9278
Subtracting 776 from 810 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
97 can be fit into 340 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4339.92783
If we subtract 291 from 340, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 490 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4339.927835
Subtract 485 from 490 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
97 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4339.927835
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 14:
500 divided by 97 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4339.92783505
Deduct 485 from 500 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 4339.92783505 and a remainder of 1.5e-08.
