We're dividing 428478 by 97 
We want to figure out the number of times 428478 can be divided by 97.

Moving on to step 1:
97 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 428 / 97

Moving on to step 3:
The number 97 fits into 428 4 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 388 from 428 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 404 / 97

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 404 by 97, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we take 388 away from 404, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 167 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 167 1 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 441.0
If we subtract 97 from 167, we get 70.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 70 and continue: 708 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 708 by 97, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4417.0
If we take 679 away from 708, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
97 can be fit into 290 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4417.2
Subtract 194 from 290 to get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 960 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 87.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4417.29
Deduct 873 from 960 and we're left with 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 870 by 97, we get 8 with a remainder of 94.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4417.298
Deduct 776 from 870 and we're left with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 940 by 97, we get 9 with a remainder of 67.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4417.2989
If we subtract 873 from 940, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 97 fits into 670 6 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4417.29896
If we subtract 582 from 670, we get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
97 goes into 880 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4417.298969
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 873 from 880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
70 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4417.298969
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
97 goes into 700 7 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4417.29896907
Subtracting 679 from 700 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4417.29896907 and a remainder of 2.1e-08.
