We're dividing 15492515 by 972 
We want to divide 15492515 by 972.

Step 1:
1 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 972

Step 2:
15 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 154 / 972

Step 3:
154 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 154.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 154 to get 154.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 154, then repeat: 1549 / 972

On to step 4:
If we divide 1549 by 972, we get 1 and a remainder of 577.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 972 from 1549, we get 577.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 577 and continue with: 5772 / 972

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 972 fits into 5772 5 times, leaving a remainder of 912.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 4860 from 5772 leaves us with 912.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 912 and continue: 9125 / 972

Let's proceed to step 6:
972 can be fit into 9125 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 377.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
The remainder is 377 after subtracting 8748 from 9125.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 377 and continue: 3771 / 972

Going ahead to step 7:
972 can be fit into 3771 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 855.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1593.0
Deduct 2916 from 3771 and we're left with 855.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 855, then repeat: 8555 / 972

Step 8:
When dividing 8555 by 972, we get 8 with a remainder of 779.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15938.0
If we subtract 7776 from 8555, we get 779.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 7790 by 972, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15938.8
Subtract 7776 from 7790 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 140 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 140.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15938.8
Subtracting 0 from 140 leaves us with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
972 goes into 1400 1 times with a remainder of 428.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15938.801
The remainder is 428 after subtracting 972 from 1400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 972 fits into 4280 4 times, leaving a remainder of 392.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15938.8014
If we take 3888 away from 4280, we end up with 392.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 972 fits into 3920 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15938.80144
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 3888 from 3920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15938.80144 with a remaining 3.2e-05.
