We're dividing 117971 by 89 
We're looking to find how many times 89 goes into 117971.

Moving on to step 1:
89 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 89

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 11 by 89, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 89

Step 3:
89 goes into 117 1 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 89 from 117, we get 28.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 89

Step 4:
289 divided by 89 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 267 away from 289, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 227 / 89

Moving on to step 5:
89 goes into 227 2 times with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 132.0
Subtracting 178 from 227 leaves us with 49.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 491 / 89

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 491 by 89, we get 5 with a remainder of 46.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1325.0
If we subtract 445 from 491, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
460 divided by 89 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1325.5
Subtract 445 from 460 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
89 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 61.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1325.51
Deduct 89 from 150 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 610 by 89, we get 6 and a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1325.516
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 534 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 10:
89 can be fit into 760 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1325.5168
Subtracting 712 from 760 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 480 by 89, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1325.51685
If we subtract 445 from 480, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 350 by 89, we get 3 and a remainder of 83.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1325.516853
If we subtract 267 from 350, we get 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
89 goes into 830 9 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1325.5168539
If we subtract 801 from 830, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 290 by 89, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1325.51685393
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 267 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

The final result is 1325.51685393 with a remainder of 2.3e-08.
