We look at the division of 872859 by 97 
We're looking to find how many times 97 goes into 872859.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 97

On to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 87.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 0 from 87.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 87, then carry on: 872 / 97

On to step 3:
97 goes into 872 8 times with a remainder of 96.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 776 from 872, we get 96.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 96 and continue with: 968 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 97 fits into 968 9 times, leaving a remainder of 95.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89.0
If we subtract 873 from 968, we get 95.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 95 and continue: 955 / 97

On to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 955 9 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 899.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 873 from 955.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 829 / 97

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 829 by 97, we get 8 and a remainder of 53.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8998.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 776 from 829.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 7:
97 can be fit into 530 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8998.5
Deduct 485 from 530 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 450 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8998.54
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 620 by 97, we get 6 and a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8998.546
If we take 582 away from 620, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
97 can be fit into 380 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 89.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8998.5463
Subtracting 291 from 380 leaves us with 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 8998.54639
If we take 873 away from 890, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 170 by 97, we get 1 with a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8998.546391
Deduct 97 from 170 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 97 fits into 730 7 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8998.5463917
Subtract 679 from 730 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 510 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8998.54639175
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 485 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8998.54639175, and the remainder is 2.5e-08.
