We divide 10142401 by 972
Our goal is to divide 10142401 by 972.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 972

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 972 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 972

Let's proceed to step 3:
101 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 101.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 101 after subtracting 0 from 101.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 101 and continue with: 1014 / 972

Let's proceed to step 4:
972 can be fit into 1014 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 972 from 1014 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 422 / 972

On to step 5:
972 can be fit into 422 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 422.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 422 after subtracting 0 from 422.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 422 and continue with: 4224 / 972

On to step 6:
If we divide 4224 by 972, we get 4 and a remainder of 336.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 104.0
If we subtract 3888 from 4224, we get 336.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 336, then repeat: 3360 / 972

Moving on to step 7:
972 goes into 3360 3 times with a remainder of 444.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1043.0
Subtracting 2916 from 3360 leaves us with 444.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 444 and continue: 4441 / 972

Step 8:
972 goes into 4441 4 times with a remainder of 553.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10434.0
Deduct 3888 from 4441 and we're left with 553.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 5530 by 972, we get 5 with a remainder of 670.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10434.5
Subtracting 4860 from 5530 leaves us with 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
972 can be fit into 6700 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 868.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10434.56
The remainder is 868 after subtracting 5832 from 6700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8680, and continue the process.

Step 11:
972 goes into 8680 8 times with a remainder of 904.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10434.568
Deduct 7776 from 8680 and we're left with 904.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 972 fits into 9040 9 times, leaving a remainder of 292.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10434.5689
If we subtract 8748 from 9040, we get 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
972 can be fit into 2920 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10434.56893
Deduct 2916 from 2920 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
40 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10434.56893
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
400 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 400.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10434.56893
Deduct 0 from 400 and we're left with 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10434.56893, with a leftover of 4e-06.
