We divide 972144 by 5
We're looking to find how many times 5 goes into 972144.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 goes into 9 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 5 from 9, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 5

Let's proceed to step 2:
5 goes into 47 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 45 from 47 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 5

Step 3:
22 divided by 5 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 194.0
If we subtract 20 from 22, we get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 5

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 21 by 5, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1944.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 20 from 21.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 5

Moving on to step 5:
The number 5 fits into 14 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19442.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 10 from 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 5

On to step 6:
5 can be fit into 44 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 194428.0
Subtract 40 from 44 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 5 fits into 40 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 194428.8
Deduct 40 from 40 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 5 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 194428.8
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.

Advancing to step 9:
5 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: 194428.8
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

The final result is 194428.8 with a remainder of 0.0.
