70452986 ÷ 972 
Let's see how many times 972 fits into 70452986.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 972

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 70 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 704 / 972

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 704 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 704.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 704, we get 704.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 704, then carry on: 7045 / 972

On to step 4:
972 goes into 7045 7 times with a remainder of 241.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 6804 from 7045 leaves us with 241.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 241 and continue: 2412 / 972

Let's proceed to step 5:
972 can be fit into 2412 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 468.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 1944 away from 2412, we end up with 468.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 468, then carry on: 4689 / 972

Advancing to step 6:
4689 divided by 972 is 4 with a remainder of 801.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 724.0
If we take 3888 away from 4689, we end up with 801.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 801, then carry on: 8018 / 972

On to step 7:
If we divide 8018 by 972, we get 8 and a remainder of 242.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7248.0
Subtracting 7776 from 8018 leaves us with 242.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 242 and continue: 2426 / 972

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 2426 by 972, we get 2 and a remainder of 482.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72482.0
Deduct 1944 from 2426 and we're left with 482.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 4820 by 972, we get 4 with a remainder of 932.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72482.4
The remainder is 932 after subtracting 3888 from 4820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 972 fits into 9320 9 times, leaving a remainder of 572.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 72482.49
Subtract 8748 from 9320 to get 572.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5720, and continue the process.

Step 11:
972 goes into 5720 5 times with a remainder of 860.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72482.495
If we take 4860 away from 5720, we end up with 860.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 972 fits into 8600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 824.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72482.4958
If we take 7776 away from 8600, we end up with 824.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
972 can be fit into 8240 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 464.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 72482.49588
Deduct 7776 from 8240 and we're left with 464.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 72482.49588 with a balance of 0.000464.
