We divide 717968 by 97
Our goal is to divide 717968 by 97.

On to step 1:
97 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 71 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 71, we end up with 71.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 717 / 97

Moving on to step 3:
97 goes into 717 7 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 679 from 717 and we're left with 38.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 389 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 97 fits into 389 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 74.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 388 from 389.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 97

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 16 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 740.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 97

Step 6:
97 can be fit into 168 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7401.0
Subtracting 97 from 168 leaves us with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 97 fits into 710 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7401.7
Subtract 679 from 710 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
97 goes into 310 3 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7401.73
Subtracting 291 from 310 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
190 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 93.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7401.731
The remainder is 93 after subtracting 97 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
97 goes into 930 9 times with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7401.7319
Deduct 873 from 930 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 97 fits into 570 5 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7401.73195
Subtract 485 from 570 to get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
850 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 74.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7401.731958
If we take 776 away from 850, we end up with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
740 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 61.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7401.7319587
If we subtract 679 from 740, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 610 by 97, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7401.73195876
If we take 582 away from 610, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7401.73195876 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
