We're dividing 16231 by 97 
We want to divide 16231 by 97.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 162 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 162 by 97, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 97 from 162 and we're left with 65.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 65, then repeat: 653 / 97

On to step 4:
97 goes into 653 6 times with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 582 from 653.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 711 / 97

On to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 711 7 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 167.0
Subtract 679 from 711 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 6:
The number 97 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 167.3
Deduct 291 from 320 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 290 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 96.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 167.32
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.

Step 8:
If we divide 960 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 87.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 167.329
Subtract 873 from 960 to get 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
870 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 94.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 167.3298
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 940 by 97, we get 9 with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 167.32989
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.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 167.329896
The remainder is 88 after subtracting 582 from 670.
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.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 167.3298969
If we subtract 873 from 880, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
97 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 167.3298969
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Our division results in 167.3298969 with a remaining 7e-08.
