The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40514.0
Subtract 0 from 200 to get 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
973 goes into 2000 2 times with a remainder of 54.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40514.02
Deduct 1946 from 2000 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
540 divided by 973 is 0 with a remainder of 540.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40514.02
The remainder is 540 after subtracting 0 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 5400 by 973, we get 5 and a remainder of 535.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40514.0205
Deduct 4865 from 5400 and we're left with 535.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
5350 divided by 973 is 5 with a remainder of 485.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40514.02055
Deduct 4865 from 5350 and we're left with 485.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4850, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 40514.02055 with a balance of 0.000485.
