We divide 14972384 by 973
Our goal is to divide 14972384 by 973.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 973

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 973 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 973

Let's proceed to step 3:
973 goes into 149 0 times with a remainder of 149.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 149 after subtracting 0 from 149.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 149 and continue with: 1497 / 973

On to step 4:
When dividing 1497 by 973, we get 1 with a remainder of 524.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 524 after subtracting 973 from 1497.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 524 and continue: 5242 / 973

Moving on to step 5:
973 can be fit into 5242 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 377.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 4865 from 5242 leaves us with 377.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 377 and continue with: 3773 / 973

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 3773 by 973, we get 3 with a remainder of 854.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 153.0
The remainder is 854 after subtracting 2919 from 3773.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 854 and continue with: 8548 / 973

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 8548 by 973, we get 8 with a remainder of 764.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1538.0
Subtract 7784 from 8548 to get 764.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 764, then repeat: 7644 / 973

On to step 8:
When dividing 7644 by 973, we get 7 with a remainder of 833.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 15387.0
Subtract 6811 from 7644 to get 833.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
973 goes into 8330 8 times with a remainder of 546.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15387.8
If we subtract 7784 from 8330, we get 546.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 973 fits into 5460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 595.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15387.85
Subtract 4865 from 5460 to get 595.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5950, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 5950 by 973, we get 6 and a remainder of 112.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15387.856
Deduct 5838 from 5950 and we're left with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
973 goes into 1120 1 times with a remainder of 147.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15387.8561
Deduct 973 from 1120 and we're left with 147.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
973 can be fit into 1470 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 497.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15387.85611
If we subtract 973 from 1470, we get 497.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4970, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15387.85611 with a balance of 0.000497.
