We divide 42831997 by 971
Let's see how many times 971 fits into 42831997.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 971, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 971

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 971 fits into 42 0 times, leaving 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.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 428 / 971

Going ahead to step 3:
971 goes into 428 0 times with a remainder of 428.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 428 leaves us with 428.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 428 and continue with: 4283 / 971

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 4283 by 971, we get 4 and a remainder of 399.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 399 after subtracting 3884 from 4283.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 399 and continue with: 3991 / 971

Step 5:
971 goes into 3991 4 times with a remainder of 107.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44.0
The remainder is 107 after subtracting 3884 from 3991.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 107, then repeat: 1079 / 971

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 971 fits into 1079 1 times, leaving a remainder of 108.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 441.0
If we take 971 away from 1079, we end up with 108.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 108, then carry on: 1089 / 971

On to step 7:
If we divide 1089 by 971, we get 1 and a remainder of 118.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4411.0
Subtract 971 from 1089 to get 118.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 118, then repeat: 1187 / 971

Let's proceed to step 8:
1187 divided by 971 is 1 with a remainder of 216.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44111.0
The remainder is 216 after subtracting 971 from 1187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 2160 by 971, we get 2 and a remainder of 218.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44111.2
Subtract 1942 from 2160 to get 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
2180 divided by 971 is 2 with a remainder of 238.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44111.22
Deduct 1942 from 2180 and we're left with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 44111.22, with a leftover of 0.238.
