We divide 987031 by 97
We're looking to find how many times 97 goes into 987031.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 97 from 98 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 97

Step 3:
97 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 170 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 170 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 101.0
If we subtract 97 from 170, we get 73.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 73, then repeat: 733 / 97

Advancing to step 5:
97 can be fit into 733 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1017.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 679 from 733.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 541 / 97

Moving on to step 6:
97 can be fit into 541 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10175.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 485 from 541.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 97 fits into 560 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10175.5
Deduct 485 from 560 and we're left 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 8:
When dividing 750 by 97, we get 7 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10175.57
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 679 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 710 by 97, we get 7 with a remainder of 31.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10175.577
Subtracting 679 from 710 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10175.577 with a balance of 0.0031.
