We're dividing 204038 by 97 
We want to divide 204038 by 97.

On to step 1:
The number 97 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 97

On to step 3:
97 can be fit into 204 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 194 from 204, we get 10.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 100 / 97

Advancing to step 4:
100 divided by 97 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 97 from 100 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 33 / 97

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 33 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 33.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 210.0
Subtracting 0 from 33 leaves us with 33.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 338 / 97

Step 6:
97 goes into 338 3 times with a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2103.0
Subtracting 291 from 338 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 7:
97 goes into 470 4 times with a remainder of 82.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2103.4
If we take 388 away from 470, we end up with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
97 goes into 820 8 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2103.48
Deduct 776 from 820 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 97 fits into 440 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2103.484
If we take 388 away from 440, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
520 divided by 97 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2103.4845
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 485 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 97, we get 3 and a remainder of 59.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2103.48453
If we subtract 291 from 350, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
97 goes into 590 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2103.484536
If we take 582 away from 590, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
80 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2103.484536
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 800 by 97, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2103.48453608
If we subtract 776 from 800, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2103.48453608 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
