46964142 ÷ 972 
Our goal is to divide 46964142 by 972.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 972

Let's proceed to step 2:
46 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 0 from 46.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 469 / 972

Let's proceed to step 3:
469 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 469.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 469 after subtracting 0 from 469.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 469, then carry on: 4696 / 972

Going ahead to step 4:
972 goes into 4696 4 times with a remainder of 808.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 3888 from 4696, we get 808.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 808 and repeat the process: 8084 / 972

On to step 5:
8084 divided by 972 is 8 with a remainder of 308.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 7776 from 8084 leaves us with 308.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 308 and continue with: 3081 / 972

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 3081 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 165.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 483.0
If we subtract 2916 from 3081, we get 165.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 165, then repeat: 1654 / 972

Advancing to step 7:
1654 divided by 972 is 1 with a remainder of 682.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4831.0
If we take 972 away from 1654, we end up with 682.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 682, then repeat: 6822 / 972

Step 8:
The number 972 fits into 6822 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 48317.0
If we take 6804 away from 6822, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 972 fits into 180 0 times, leaving a remainder of 180.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48317.0
Deduct 0 from 180 and we're left with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
972 goes into 1800 1 times with a remainder of 828.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48317.01
Subtracting 972 from 1800 leaves us with 828.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 8280 by 972, we get 8 with a remainder of 504.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48317.018
The remainder is 504 after subtracting 7776 from 8280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5040, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 972 fits into 5040 5 times, leaving a remainder of 180.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48317.0185
If we take 4860 away from 5040, we end up with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
1800 divided by 972 is 1 with a remainder of 828.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48317.01851
The remainder is 828 after subtracting 972 from 1800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 8280 by 972, we get 8 and a remainder of 504.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48317.018518
If we subtract 7776 from 8280, we get 504.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
972 can be fit into 5040 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 180.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48317.0185185
Subtracting 4860 from 5040 leaves us with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 1800 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 828.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48317.01851851
The remainder is 828 after subtracting 972 from 1800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 48317.01851851 with a remaining 8.28e-07.
