Let's divide 4875 by 97
We want to divide 4875 by 97.

On to step 1:
97 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 97

Moving on to step 2:
48 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 487 / 97

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 487 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 485 from 487 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
97 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 250 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.2
Deduct 194 from 250 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 97 fits into 560 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50.25
Subtracting 485 from 560 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 7:
97 goes into 750 7 times with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.257
If we take 679 away from 750, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
710 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.2577
If we take 679 away from 710, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 50.2577 and a remainder of 0.00031.
