We divide 8957197 by 972
Let's see how many times 972 fits into 8957197.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 972 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 972

Advancing to step 2:
972 goes into 89 0 times with a remainder of 89.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 0 from 89.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 89 and continue with: 895 / 972

On to step 3:
The number 972 fits into 895 0 times, leaving a remainder of 895.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 895 leaves us with 895.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 895, then repeat: 8957 / 972

Step 4:
When dividing 8957 by 972, we get 9 with a remainder of 209.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 8748 from 8957 and we're left with 209.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 209, then carry on: 2091 / 972

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 972 fits into 2091 2 times, leaving a remainder of 147.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 92.0
If we take 1944 away from 2091, we end up with 147.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 147 and repeat the process: 1479 / 972

Step 6:
When dividing 1479 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 507.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 921.0
If we take 972 away from 1479, we end up with 507.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 507 and repeat the process: 5077 / 972

Advancing to step 7:
972 goes into 5077 5 times with a remainder of 217.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9215.0
Subtract 4860 from 5077 to get 217.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
972 can be fit into 2170 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 226.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9215.2
The remainder is 226 after subtracting 1944 from 2170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 2260 by 972, we get 2 and a remainder of 316.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9215.22
If we take 1944 away from 2260, we end up with 316.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9215.22 with a remaining 0.316.
