Let's divide 230531 by 97
We want to divide 230531 by 97.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 97

Step 2:
If we divide 23 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 230 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 230 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 194 from 230 to get 36.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 365 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
365 divided by 97 is 3 with a remainder of 74.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 291 from 365 to get 74.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 743 / 97

Advancing to step 5:
97 goes into 743 7 times with a remainder of 64.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 237.0
Subtracting 679 from 743 leaves us with 64.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 641 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 97 fits into 641 6 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2376.0
If we subtract 582 from 641, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 7:
590 divided by 97 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2376.6
Subtract 582 from 590 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
80 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2376.6
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 800 by 97, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2376.608
Deduct 776 from 800 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 240 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2376.6082
Subtract 194 from 240 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 460 by 97, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2376.60824
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 388 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
720 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2376.608247
If we subtract 679 from 720, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 13:
97 goes into 410 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2376.6082474
If we take 388 away from 410, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
97 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2376.60824742
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 194 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final result is 2376.60824742 with a remainder of 2.6e-08.
