We look at the division of 74348462 by 972 
Let's see how many times 972 fits into 74348462.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 972

Let's proceed to step 2:
972 can be fit into 74 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 74, we end up with 74.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 743 / 972

Going ahead to step 3:
972 goes into 743 0 times with a remainder of 743.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 743 to get 743.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 743, then repeat: 7434 / 972

Step 4:
The number 972 fits into 7434 7 times, leaving a remainder of 630.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 630 after subtracting 6804 from 7434.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 630, then carry on: 6308 / 972

Let's proceed to step 5:
6308 divided by 972 is 6 with a remainder of 476.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 76.0
Deduct 5832 from 6308 and we're left with 476.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 476, then repeat: 4764 / 972

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 4764 by 972, we get 4 with a remainder of 876.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 764.0
If we take 3888 away from 4764, we end up with 876.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 876, then repeat: 8766 / 972

Let's proceed to step 7:
972 can be fit into 8766 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7649.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 8748 from 8766.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 182 / 972

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 182 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 182.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76490.0
If we take 0 away from 182, we end up with 182.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 972 fits into 1820 1 times, leaving a remainder of 848.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 76490.1
If we subtract 972 from 1820, we get 848.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 8480 by 972, we get 8 and a remainder of 704.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 76490.18
Subtracting 7776 from 8480 leaves us with 704.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7040, and continue the process.

Step 11:
972 goes into 7040 7 times with a remainder of 236.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 76490.187
Deduct 6804 from 7040 and we're left with 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
972 goes into 2360 2 times with a remainder of 416.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76490.1872
Deduct 1944 from 2360 and we're left with 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
4160 divided by 972 is 4 with a remainder of 272.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 76490.18724
If we take 3888 away from 4160, we end up with 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 2720 by 972, we get 2 with a remainder of 776.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 76490.187242
Deduct 1944 from 2720 and we're left with 776.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
972 can be fit into 7760 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 956.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 76490.1872427
If we subtract 6804 from 7760, we get 956.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 9560 by 972, we get 9 with a remainder of 812.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76490.18724279
Deduct 8748 from 9560 and we're left with 812.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 76490.18724279 with a remaining 8.12e-07.
