972 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 972

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 972

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 247 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 247.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 247, we get 247.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 247 and continue: 2470 / 972

Going ahead to step 4:
972 can be fit into 2470 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 526.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 526 after subtracting 1944 from 2470.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 526 and repeat the process: 5266 / 972

Advancing to step 5:
972 can be fit into 5266 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 406.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 4860 from 5266 and we're left with 406.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 406 and continue with: 4062 / 972

Moving on to step 6:
972 goes into 4062 4 times with a remainder of 174.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 254.0
Subtracting 3888 from 4062 leaves us with 174.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 174, then carry on: 1746 / 972

On to step 7:
The number 972 fits into 1746 1 times, leaving a remainder of 774.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2541.0
Subtract 972 from 1746 to get 774.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 774 and repeat the process: 7745 / 972

Step 8:
972 can be fit into 7745 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 941.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25417.0
Deduct 6804 from 7745 and we're left with 941.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9410, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 9410 by 972, we get 9 with a remainder of 662.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25417.9
Deduct 8748 from 9410 and we're left with 662.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
972 can be fit into 6620 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 788.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25417.96
The remainder is 788 after subtracting 5832 from 6620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7880, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 972 fits into 7880 8 times, leaving a remainder of 104.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25417.968
Subtract 7776 from 7880 to get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
1040 divided by 972 is 1 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25417.9681
If we take 972 away from 1040, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
972 can be fit into 680 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 680.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25417.9681
Subtracting 0 from 680 leaves us with 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
6800 divided by 972 is 6 with a remainder of 968.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25417.968106
Subtract 5832 from 6800 to get 968.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
9680 divided by 972 is 9 with a remainder of 932.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25417.9681069
Deduct 8748 from 9680 and we're left with 932.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9320, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 972 fits into 9320 9 times, leaving a remainder of 572.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25417.96810699
If we take 8748 away from 9320, we end up with 572.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 25417.96810699 with a balance of 5.72e-07.
