45253656 ÷ 972 
Our goal is to divide 45253656 by 972.

Let's proceed 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
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 972

Step 2:
45 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 45.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 45 and we're left with 45.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 452 / 972

Moving on to step 3:
972 goes into 452 0 times with a remainder of 452.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 452 after subtracting 0 from 452.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 452, then carry on: 4525 / 972

Advancing to step 4:
972 goes into 4525 4 times with a remainder of 637.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 3888 from 4525 leaves us with 637.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 637, then repeat: 6373 / 972

On to step 5:
972 can be fit into 6373 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 541.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtract 5832 from 6373 to get 541.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 541, then carry on: 5416 / 972

Moving on to step 6:
972 goes into 5416 5 times with a remainder of 556.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 465.0
Subtracting 4860 from 5416 leaves us with 556.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 556, then carry on: 5565 / 972

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 5565 by 972, we get 5 with a remainder of 705.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4655.0
If we take 4860 away from 5565, we end up with 705.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 705, then repeat: 7056 / 972

Let's proceed to step 8:
972 can be fit into 7056 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 252.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46557.0
If we subtract 6804 from 7056, we get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 972 fits into 2520 2 times, leaving a remainder of 576.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46557.2
Deduct 1944 from 2520 and we're left with 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 5760 by 972, we get 5 and a remainder of 900.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46557.25
If we take 4860 away from 5760, we end up with 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9000, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
972 goes into 9000 9 times with a remainder of 252.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46557.259
If we take 8748 away from 9000, we end up with 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
972 goes into 2520 2 times with a remainder of 576.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46557.2592
The remainder is 576 after subtracting 1944 from 2520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 5760 by 972, we get 5 with a remainder of 900.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46557.25925
If we take 4860 away from 5760, we end up with 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 9000 by 972, we get 9 with a remainder of 252.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46557.259259
The remainder is 252 after subtracting 8748 from 9000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 2520 by 972, we get 2 and a remainder of 576.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46557.2592592
If we subtract 1944 from 2520, we get 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
972 goes into 5760 5 times with a remainder of 900.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46557.25925925
If we subtract 4860 from 5760, we get 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9000, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 46557.25925925, with a leftover of 9e-07.
