We're dividing 388021 by 97 
We want to divide 388021 by 97.

Moving on to step 1:
97 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 38 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 388 / 97

Step 3:
When dividing 388 by 97, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 388 from 388 to get 0.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 97

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 0 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 97

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 2 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 400.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 21 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4000.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4000.2
Deduct 194 from 210 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
97 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4000.21
If we take 97 away from 160, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 630 by 97, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4000.216
Subtracting 582 from 630 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
97 goes into 480 4 times with a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4000.2164
The remainder is 92 after subtracting 388 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Step 11:
97 goes into 920 9 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4000.21649
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 873 from 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 12:
97 can be fit into 470 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 82.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4000.216494
Subtracting 388 from 470 leaves us with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
97 can be fit into 820 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4000.2164948
Subtracting 776 from 820 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
440 divided by 97 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4000.21649484
If we subtract 388 from 440, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4000.21649484 with a remaining 5.2e-08.
