972452 divided by 71 
We want to figure out the number of times 972452 can be divided by 71.

Going ahead to step 1:
71 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 71

Step 2:
When dividing 97 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 71 from 97 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
71 can be fit into 262 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 213 from 262 and we're left with 49.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 494 / 71

Step 4:
71 goes into 494 6 times with a remainder of 68.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136.0
Deduct 426 from 494 and we're left with 68.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 685 / 71

Step 5:
71 goes into 685 9 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1369.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 639 from 685.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 71

Step 6:
71 can be fit into 462 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13696.0
Deduct 426 from 462 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 71 fits into 360 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13696.5
Subtracting 355 from 360 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
71 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13696.5
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
71 goes into 500 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13696.507
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 497 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 10:
71 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13696.507
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
71 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13696.50704
If we subtract 284 from 300, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
160 divided by 71 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13696.507042
Subtract 142 from 160 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 71 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13696.5070422
Subtracting 142 from 180 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13696.5070422 and a remainder of 3.8e-07.
