We're dividing 12301554 by 971 
We want to figure out the number of times 12301554 can be divided by 971.

Let's proceed to step 1:
971 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
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 971

Step 2:
If we divide 12 by 971, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 123 / 971

Moving on to step 3:
123 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 123.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 123 leaves us with 123.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 123, then repeat: 1230 / 971

Moving on to step 4:
The number 971 fits into 1230 1 times, leaving a remainder of 259.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 971 from 1230 and we're left with 259.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 259, then carry on: 2591 / 971

Advancing to step 5:
2591 divided by 971 is 2 with a remainder of 649.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 1942 from 2591, we get 649.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 649, then carry on: 6495 / 971

Moving on to step 6:
6495 divided by 971 is 6 with a remainder of 669.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 126.0
If we subtract 5826 from 6495, we get 669.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 669, then repeat: 6695 / 971

Advancing to step 7:
The number 971 fits into 6695 6 times, leaving a remainder of 869.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1266.0
Subtract 5826 from 6695 to get 869.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 869 and repeat the process: 8694 / 971

Step 8:
When dividing 8694 by 971, we get 8 with a remainder of 926.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12668.0
If we subtract 7768 from 8694, we get 926.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 9260 by 971, we get 9 and a remainder of 521.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12668.9
If we subtract 8739 from 9260, we get 521.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
971 goes into 5210 5 times with a remainder of 355.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12668.95
If we take 4855 away from 5210, we end up with 355.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
971 can be fit into 3550 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 637.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12668.953
Deduct 2913 from 3550 and we're left with 637.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6370, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
6370 divided by 971 is 6 with a remainder of 544.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12668.9536
If we subtract 5826 from 6370, we get 544.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 5440 by 971, we get 5 and a remainder of 585.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12668.95365
Subtracting 4855 from 5440 leaves us with 585.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5850, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 971 fits into 5850 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12668.953656
Deduct 5826 from 5850 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 240 by 971, we get 0 and a remainder of 240.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12668.953656
If we take 0 away from 240, we end up with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
971 goes into 2400 2 times with a remainder of 458.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12668.95365602
The remainder is 458 after subtracting 1942 from 2400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4580, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12668.95365602 and a remainder of 4.58e-07.
