We're dividing 34855485 by 972 
Our goal is to divide 34855485 by 972.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 972 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 972

On to step 2:
When dividing 34 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 34, we get 34.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 348 / 972

Moving on to step 3:
972 can be fit into 348 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 348.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 348 leaves us with 348.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 348, then repeat: 3485 / 972

On to step 4:
If we divide 3485 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 569.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 2916 from 3485 to get 569.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 569 and repeat the process: 5695 / 972

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 5695 by 972, we get 5 with a remainder of 835.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 4860 from 5695 and we're left with 835.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 835, then repeat: 8354 / 972

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 8354 by 972, we get 8 and a remainder of 578.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 358.0
Subtracting 7776 from 8354 leaves us with 578.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 578, then carry on: 5788 / 972

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 5788 by 972, we get 5 and a remainder of 928.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3585.0
Subtracting 4860 from 5788 leaves us with 928.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 928 and continue with: 9285 / 972

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 9285 by 972, we get 9 with a remainder of 537.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35859.0
If we take 8748 away from 9285, we end up with 537.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 5370 by 972, we get 5 with a remainder of 510.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35859.5
Deduct 4860 from 5370 and we're left with 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
972 can be fit into 5100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 240.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35859.55
Deduct 4860 from 5100 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 35859.55, and the remainder is 0.24.
