5964940 divided by 971 
We want to divide 5964940 by 971.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 971 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 971

Let's proceed to step 2:
971 goes into 59 0 times with a remainder of 59.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 59, we get 59.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 596 / 971

On to step 3:
971 goes into 596 0 times with a remainder of 596.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 596, we end up with 596.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 596 and continue: 5964 / 971

Advancing to step 4:
The number 971 fits into 5964 6 times, leaving a remainder of 138.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 5826 from 5964 to get 138.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 138 and continue: 1389 / 971

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 1389 by 971, we get 1 with a remainder of 418.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 971 from 1389 to get 418.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 418, then repeat: 4184 / 971

Step 6:
When dividing 4184 by 971, we get 4 with a remainder of 300.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 614.0
Subtracting 3884 from 4184 leaves us with 300.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 300 and continue with: 3000 / 971

Step 7:
3000 divided by 971 is 3 with a remainder of 87.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6143.0
Deduct 2913 from 3000 and we're left with 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
971 can be fit into 870 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 870.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6143.0
If we subtract 0 from 870, we get 870.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8700, and continue the process.

Step 9:
8700 divided by 971 is 8 with a remainder of 932.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6143.08
The remainder is 932 after subtracting 7768 from 8700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
971 can be fit into 9320 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 581.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6143.089
If we subtract 8739 from 9320, we get 581.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5810, and continue the process.

Step 11:
971 goes into 5810 5 times with a remainder of 955.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6143.0895
Deduct 4855 from 5810 and we're left with 955.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
9550 divided by 971 is 9 with a remainder of 811.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6143.08959
If we subtract 8739 from 9550, we get 811.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8110, and continue the process.

Step 13:
8110 divided by 971 is 8 with a remainder of 342.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6143.089598
Subtracting 7768 from 8110 leaves us with 342.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3420, and continue the process.

Step 14:
971 goes into 3420 3 times with a remainder of 507.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6143.0895983
Subtract 2913 from 3420 to get 507.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5070, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 971 fits into 5070 5 times, leaving a remainder of 215.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6143.08959835
The remainder is 215 after subtracting 4855 from 5070.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

The final result is 6143.08959835 with a remainder of 2.15e-07.
