We divide 966972 by 24
We want to divide 966972 by 24.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 24, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 24

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 96 by 24, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 96 from 96 to get 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 24

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 6 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 24

Moving on to step 4:
The number 24 fits into 69 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 402.0
If we take 48 away from 69, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 24

Let's proceed to step 5:
24 goes into 217 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4029.0
Deduct 216 from 217 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 24

Advancing to step 6:
24 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40290.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 120 by 24, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40290.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 120 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
24 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40290.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
24 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40290.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 40290.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
