Let's divide 54866863 by 971
Our goal is to divide 54866863 by 971.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 971

Let's proceed to step 2:
971 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 548 / 971

Going ahead to step 3:
971 goes into 548 0 times with a remainder of 548.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 548 after subtracting 0 from 548.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 548, then repeat: 5486 / 971

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 971 fits into 5486 5 times, leaving a remainder of 631.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 4855 from 5486 and we're left with 631.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 631, then carry on: 6316 / 971

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 6316 by 971, we get 6 and a remainder of 490.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 490 after subtracting 5826 from 6316.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 490 and continue with: 4908 / 971

Moving on to step 6:
The number 971 fits into 4908 5 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 565.0
If we subtract 4855 from 4908, we get 53.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 536 / 971

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 971 fits into 536 0 times, leaving a remainder of 536.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5650.0
Subtracting 0 from 536 leaves us with 536.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 536 and repeat the process: 5363 / 971

Step 8:
971 goes into 5363 5 times with a remainder of 508.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56505.0
Deduct 4855 from 5363 and we're left with 508.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 971 fits into 5080 5 times, leaving a remainder of 225.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56505.5
Subtracting 4855 from 5080 leaves us with 225.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2250, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 2250 by 971, we get 2 with a remainder of 308.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56505.52
If we take 1942 away from 2250, we end up with 308.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 971 fits into 3080 3 times, leaving a remainder of 167.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56505.523
If we subtract 2913 from 3080, we get 167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1670, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1670 divided by 971 is 1 with a remainder of 699.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56505.5231
The remainder is 699 after subtracting 971 from 1670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6990, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
971 goes into 6990 7 times with a remainder of 193.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56505.52317
If we take 6797 away from 6990, we end up with 193.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
971 goes into 1930 1 times with a remainder of 959.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56505.523171
Subtract 971 from 1930 to get 959.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 9590 by 971, we get 9 and a remainder of 851.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56505.5231719
The remainder is 851 after subtracting 8739 from 9590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8510, and continue the process.

Step 16:
971 goes into 8510 8 times with a remainder of 742.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56505.52317198
The remainder is 742 after subtracting 7768 from 8510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 56505.52317198, and the remainder is 7.42e-07.
