We're dividing 16472006 by 972 
We want to figure out the number of times 16472006 can be divided by 972.

Step 1:
The number 972 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 972

Going ahead to step 2:
972 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 164 / 972

On to step 3:
The number 972 fits into 164 0 times, leaving a remainder of 164.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 164 after subtracting 0 from 164.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 164 and continue: 1647 / 972

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 972 fits into 1647 1 times, leaving a remainder of 675.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 972 from 1647 and we're left with 675.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 675, then repeat: 6752 / 972

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 6752 by 972, we get 6 and a remainder of 920.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 5832 from 6752 leaves us with 920.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 920, then carry on: 9200 / 972

On to step 6:
When dividing 9200 by 972, we get 9 with a remainder of 452.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 169.0
Subtract 8748 from 9200 to get 452.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 452, then repeat: 4520 / 972

Step 7:
The number 972 fits into 4520 4 times, leaving a remainder of 632.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1694.0
Subtracting 3888 from 4520 leaves us with 632.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 632, then repeat: 6326 / 972

Going ahead to step 8:
6326 divided by 972 is 6 with a remainder of 494.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16946.0
Subtracting 5832 from 6326 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.

Moving on to step 9:
4940 divided by 972 is 5 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16946.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 800 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 800.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16946.5
The remainder is 800 after subtracting 0 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 972 fits into 8000 8 times, leaving a remainder of 224.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16946.508
Subtracting 7776 from 8000 leaves us with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
972 can be fit into 2240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 296.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16946.5082
Deduct 1944 from 2240 and we're left with 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 2960 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16946.50823
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.

On to step 14:
440 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 440.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16946.50823
If we take 0 away from 440, we end up with 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
972 goes into 4400 4 times with a remainder of 512.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16946.5082304
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.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 972 fits into 5120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 260.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16946.50823045
Subtracting 4860 from 5120 leaves us with 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 16946.50823045 and a remainder of 2.6e-07.
