We divide 85500021 by 973
We want to figure out the number of times 85500021 can be divided by 973.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 973 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 973

Advancing to step 2:
The number 973 fits into 85 0 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 85, we get 85.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 855 / 973

Let's proceed to step 3:
855 divided by 973 is 0 with a remainder of 855.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 855, we end up with 855.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 855 and continue with: 8550 / 973

Let's proceed to step 4:
973 can be fit into 8550 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 766.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 7784 from 8550, we get 766.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 766, then repeat: 7660 / 973

Step 5:
The number 973 fits into 7660 7 times, leaving a remainder of 849.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 87.0
The remainder is 849 after subtracting 6811 from 7660.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 849 and repeat the process: 8490 / 973

Step 6:
If we divide 8490 by 973, we get 8 and a remainder of 706.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 878.0
If we subtract 7784 from 8490, we get 706.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 706 and continue: 7062 / 973

Advancing to step 7:
973 goes into 7062 7 times with a remainder of 251.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8787.0
Subtracting 6811 from 7062 leaves us with 251.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 251 and repeat the process: 2511 / 973

Step 8:
973 goes into 2511 2 times with a remainder of 565.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87872.0
Subtract 1946 from 2511 to get 565.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
973 can be fit into 5650 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 785.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 87872.5
If we take 4865 away from 5650, we end up with 785.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 7850 by 973, we get 8 and a remainder of 66.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87872.58
Deduct 7784 from 7850 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
660 divided by 973 is 0 with a remainder of 660.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 87872.58
If we take 0 away from 660, we end up with 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 6600 by 973, we get 6 with a remainder of 762.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87872.5806
Subtracting 5838 from 6600 leaves us with 762.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7620, and continue the process.

Step 13:
973 can be fit into 7620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 809.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 87872.58067
The remainder is 809 after subtracting 6811 from 7620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8090, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 8090 by 973, we get 8 with a remainder of 306.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 87872.580678
Subtracting 7784 from 8090 leaves us with 306.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3060, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 3060 by 973, we get 3 with a remainder of 141.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 87872.5806783
The remainder is 141 after subtracting 2919 from 3060.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 973 fits into 1410 1 times, leaving a remainder of 437.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 87872.58067831
If we subtract 973 from 1410, we get 437.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4370, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 87872.58067831, and the remainder is 4.37e-07.
