We divide 290994 by 97
Let's see how many times 97 fits into 290994.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
97 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 290 / 97

Moving on to step 3:
290 divided by 97 is 2 with a remainder of 96.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 194 from 290 and we're left with 96.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 96 and continue: 969 / 97

Advancing to step 4:
97 can be fit into 969 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 873 from 969, we get 96.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 96 and continue with: 969 / 97

Let's proceed to step 5:
97 can be fit into 969 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 299.0
Deduct 873 from 969 and we're left with 96.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 96, then carry on: 964 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 964 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 91.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2999.0
The remainder is 91 after subtracting 873 from 964.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 97 fits into 910 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2999.9
Subtracting 873 from 910 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
97 can be fit into 370 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2999.93
Deduct 291 from 370 and we're left 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 9:
When dividing 790 by 97, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2999.938
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 97 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2999.9381
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 97 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 11:
97 goes into 430 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2999.93814
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.

Step 12:
97 goes into 420 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2999.938144
Subtracting 388 from 420 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2999.938144 with a remaining 3.2e-06.
