41638295 ÷ 972 
We want to divide 41638295 by 972.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 41 / 972

Moving on to step 2:
972 goes into 41 0 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 41 to get 41.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 416 / 972

On to step 3:
The number 972 fits into 416 0 times, leaving a remainder of 416.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 416, we end up with 416.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 416 and continue: 4163 / 972

Advancing to step 4:
4163 divided by 972 is 4 with a remainder of 275.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 275 after subtracting 3888 from 4163.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 275 and continue: 2758 / 972

Let's proceed to step 5:
2758 divided by 972 is 2 with a remainder of 814.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 1944 from 2758 to get 814.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 814, then repeat: 8142 / 972

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 8142 by 972, we get 8 with a remainder of 366.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 428.0
If we take 7776 away from 8142, we end up with 366.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 366, then repeat: 3669 / 972

Going ahead to step 7:
3669 divided by 972 is 3 with a remainder of 753.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4283.0
Subtracting 2916 from 3669 leaves us with 753.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 753 and continue: 7535 / 972

Advancing to step 8:
972 can be fit into 7535 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 731.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42837.0
Deduct 6804 from 7535 and we're left with 731.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 7310 by 972, we get 7 with a remainder of 506.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42837.7
The remainder is 506 after subtracting 6804 from 7310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5060, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 5060 by 972, we get 5 and a remainder of 200.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 42837.75
The remainder is 200 after subtracting 4860 from 5060.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 2000 by 972, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42837.752
If we subtract 1944 from 2000, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 12:
972 goes into 560 0 times with a remainder of 560.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 42837.752
Subtracting 0 from 560 leaves us with 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 5600 by 972, we get 5 and a remainder of 740.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42837.75205
If we subtract 4860 from 5600, we get 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 7400 by 972, we get 7 and a remainder of 596.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42837.752057
Subtract 6804 from 7400 to get 596.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 972 fits into 5960 6 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42837.7520576
Deduct 5832 from 5960 and we're left with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 1280 by 972, we get 1 and a remainder of 308.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42837.75205761
Subtracting 972 from 1280 leaves us with 308.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

Our division results in 42837.75205761 with a remaining 3.08e-07.
