We divide 462546 by 97
Our goal is to divide 462546 by 97.

On to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 46 to get 46.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 462 / 97

Step 3:
If we divide 462 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 74.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 388 from 462 leaves us with 74.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 745 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 745 by 97, we get 7 and a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 679 away from 745, we end up with 66.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 664 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 664 6 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 476.0
Subtracting 582 from 664 leaves us with 82.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 82 and repeat the process: 826 / 97

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 97 fits into 826 8 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4768.0
Subtract 776 from 826 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 97 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4768.5
If we subtract 485 from 500, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4768.51
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 97 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
530 divided by 97 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4768.515
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 485 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
450 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4768.5154
Subtract 388 from 450 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
97 goes into 620 6 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4768.51546
Subtract 582 from 620 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
97 can be fit into 380 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 89.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4768.515463
If we subtract 291 from 380, we get 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
97 can be fit into 890 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4768.5154639
Subtracting 873 from 890 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
97 goes into 170 1 times with a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4768.51546391
If we subtract 97 from 170, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4768.51546391 with a remaining 7.3e-08.
