We're dividing 221703 by 97 
We want to divide 221703 by 97.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 97

Moving on to step 2:
97 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 221 / 97

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 221 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 27.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 194 from 221.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 277 / 97

Step 4:
If we divide 277 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 83.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we subtract 194 from 277, we get 83.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 83 and continue: 830 / 97

Advancing to step 5:
830 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 228.0
Subtract 776 from 830 to get 54.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 543 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
97 goes into 543 5 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2285.0
Subtracting 485 from 543 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 7:
97 goes into 580 5 times with a remainder of 95.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2285.5
Subtracting 485 from 580 leaves us with 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 950 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2285.59
Subtracting 873 from 950 leaves us with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
97 goes into 770 7 times with a remainder of 91.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2285.597
Subtracting 679 from 770 leaves us with 91.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

Step 10:
910 divided by 97 is 9 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2285.5979
Deduct 873 from 910 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 370 by 97, we get 3 and a remainder of 79.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2285.59793
Subtracting 291 from 370 leaves us with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 12:
790 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2285.597938
Subtracting 776 from 790 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
140 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2285.5979381
If we subtract 97 from 140, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 430 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2285.59793814
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 388 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2285.59793814 with a balance of 4.2e-08.
