72866626 ÷ 972 
We want to divide 72866626 by 972.

Advancing to step 1:
972 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 972

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 728 / 972

On to step 3:
972 can be fit into 728 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 728.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 728 to get 728.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 728, then repeat: 7286 / 972

Let's proceed to step 4:
7286 divided by 972 is 7 with a remainder of 482.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 6804 from 7286 leaves us with 482.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 482 and repeat the process: 4826 / 972

Advancing to step 5:
4826 divided by 972 is 4 with a remainder of 938.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtract 3888 from 4826 to get 938.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 938, then carry on: 9386 / 972

Going ahead to step 6:
972 goes into 9386 9 times with a remainder of 638.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 749.0
The remainder is 638 after subtracting 8748 from 9386.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 638 and repeat the process: 6382 / 972

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 6382 by 972, we get 6 with a remainder of 550.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7496.0
If we subtract 5832 from 6382, we get 550.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 550 and repeat the process: 5506 / 972

Step 8:
If we divide 5506 by 972, we get 5 and a remainder of 646.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74965.0
Subtracting 4860 from 5506 leaves us with 646.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6460, and continue the process.

Step 9:
6460 divided by 972 is 6 with a remainder of 628.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74965.6
If we subtract 5832 from 6460, we get 628.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
6280 divided by 972 is 6 with a remainder of 448.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74965.66
If we subtract 5832 from 6280, we get 448.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 74965.66 with a remaining 0.448.
