We're dividing 4873699 by 972 
We want to figure out the number of times 4873699 can be divided by 972.

Let's proceed to step 1:
972 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 972

Step 2:
48 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 487 / 972

Going ahead to step 3:
972 can be fit into 487 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 487.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 487 to get 487.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 487 and continue: 4873 / 972

Going ahead to step 4:
972 can be fit into 4873 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4860 from 4873, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 136 / 972

Step 5:
136 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 136.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 136 to get 136.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 136 and repeat the process: 1369 / 972

On to step 6:
If we divide 1369 by 972, we get 1 and a remainder of 397.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 501.0
Deduct 972 from 1369 and we're left with 397.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 397 and repeat the process: 3979 / 972

Moving on to step 7:
3979 divided by 972 is 4 with a remainder of 91.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5014.0
Deduct 3888 from 3979 and we're left with 91.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
972 goes into 910 0 times with a remainder of 910.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5014.0
If we take 0 away from 910, we end up with 910.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
972 goes into 9100 9 times with a remainder of 352.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5014.09
If we subtract 8748 from 9100, we get 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3520, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 972 fits into 3520 3 times, leaving a remainder of 604.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5014.093
If we take 2916 away from 3520, we end up with 604.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
972 goes into 6040 6 times with a remainder of 208.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5014.0936
If we subtract 5832 from 6040, we get 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
972 can be fit into 2080 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 136.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5014.09362
If we take 1944 away from 2080, we end up with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 1360 by 972, we get 1 and a remainder of 388.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5014.093621
Subtracting 972 from 1360 leaves us with 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
972 can be fit into 3880 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 964.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5014.0936213
The remainder is 964 after subtracting 2916 from 3880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9640, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 9640 by 972, we get 9 with a remainder of 892.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5014.09362139
Deduct 8748 from 9640 and we're left with 892.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8920, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5014.09362139, and the remainder is 8.92e-07.
