972965 ÷ 24 
We want to divide 972965 by 24.

Let's proceed to step 1:
24 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 24

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 24, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 96 from 97 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 24

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 12 by 24, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 129 / 24

Moving on to step 4:
24 can be fit into 129 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 405.0
Subtracting 120 from 129 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 24

On to step 5:
96 divided by 24 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4054.0
If we take 96 away from 96, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 24

Step 6:
24 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40540.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 24 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40540.2
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 48 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40540.2
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 24, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40540.208
If we take 192 away from 200, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 24, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40540.2083
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 24, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40540.20833
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 40540.20833 with a remaining 8e-06.
