31644773 ÷ 972 
We want to divide 31644773 by 972.

On to step 1:
972 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 972

Step 2:
If we divide 31 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 316 / 972

Let's proceed to step 3:
972 can be fit into 316 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 316.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 316, we end up with 316.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 316 and continue: 3164 / 972

Step 4:
If we divide 3164 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 248.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 2916 from 3164, we get 248.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 248 and repeat the process: 2484 / 972

On to step 5:
If we divide 2484 by 972, we get 2 and a remainder of 540.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 1944 from 2484 to get 540.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 540 and continue with: 5407 / 972

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 972 fits into 5407 5 times, leaving a remainder of 547.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 325.0
The remainder is 547 after subtracting 4860 from 5407.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 547, then repeat: 5477 / 972

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 5477 by 972, we get 5 and a remainder of 617.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3255.0
If we take 4860 away from 5477, we end up with 617.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 617, then carry on: 6173 / 972

On to step 8:
When dividing 6173 by 972, we get 6 with a remainder of 341.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32556.0
Deduct 5832 from 6173 and we're left with 341.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 3410 by 972, we get 3 with a remainder of 494.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 32556.3
Subtracting 2916 from 3410 leaves us with 494.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 4940 by 972, we get 5 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32556.35
Subtract 4860 from 4940 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
972 goes into 800 0 times with a remainder of 800.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32556.35
Deduct 0 from 800 and we're left with 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
972 can be fit into 8000 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 224.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32556.3508
If we subtract 7776 from 8000, we get 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 972 fits into 2240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 296.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32556.35082
The remainder is 296 after subtracting 1944 from 2240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
2960 divided by 972 is 3 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32556.350823
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 2916 from 2960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 440 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 440.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32556.350823
If we subtract 0 from 440, we get 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 972 fits into 4400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 512.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32556.35082304
Deduct 3888 from 4400 and we're left with 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5120, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 32556.35082304, and the remainder is 5.12e-07.
