We look at the division of 280371 by 97 
We want to divide 280371 by 97.

Moving on to step 1:
97 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 97

Step 2:
97 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 280 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 280 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 194 from 280, we get 86.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 86, then repeat: 863 / 97

On to step 4:
97 can be fit into 863 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 87.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 776 from 863, we get 87.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 87, then repeat: 877 / 97

Step 5:
97 can be fit into 877 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 289.0
Deduct 873 from 877 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 41 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 41 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2890.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
410 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2890.4
Subtract 388 from 410 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
220 divided by 97 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2890.42
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 194 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 260 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 66.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2890.422
Deduct 194 from 260 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2890.422 with a balance of 0.0066.
