We're dividing 42372260 by 972 
We're looking to find how many times 972 goes into 42372260.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 972

On to step 2:
972 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 423 / 972

Step 3:
The number 972 fits into 423 0 times, leaving a remainder of 423.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 423 leaves us with 423.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 423, then repeat: 4237 / 972

Step 4:
The number 972 fits into 4237 4 times, leaving a remainder of 349.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 349 after subtracting 3888 from 4237.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 349 and continue with: 3492 / 972

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 3492 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 576.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtract 2916 from 3492 to get 576.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 576 and repeat the process: 5762 / 972

Step 6:
972 can be fit into 5762 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 902.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 435.0
The remainder is 902 after subtracting 4860 from 5762.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 902, then carry on: 9026 / 972

Let's proceed to step 7:
9026 divided by 972 is 9 with a remainder of 278.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4359.0
If we subtract 8748 from 9026, we get 278.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 278, then repeat: 2780 / 972

Let's proceed to step 8:
972 goes into 2780 2 times with a remainder of 836.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43592.0
If we take 1944 away from 2780, we end up with 836.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 8360 by 972, we get 8 with a remainder of 584.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43592.8
If we subtract 7776 from 8360, we get 584.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5840, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
972 can be fit into 5840 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43592.86
Deduct 5832 from 5840 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 972 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43592.86
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 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 12:
972 can be fit into 800 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 800.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 43592.86
Subtract 0 from 800 to get 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8000, and continue the process.

The final result is 43592.86 with a remainder of 0.008.
