We're dividing 10140948 by 972 
We're looking to find how many times 972 goes into 10140948.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 10 / 972

Advancing to step 2:
972 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 101 / 972

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 972 fits into 101 0 times, leaving a remainder of 101.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 101 after subtracting 0 from 101.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 101, then repeat: 1014 / 972

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 1014 by 972, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 972 away from 1014, we end up with 42.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 420 / 972

Step 5:
If we divide 420 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 420.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 420 after subtracting 0 from 420.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 420 and continue with: 4209 / 972

Moving on to step 6:
972 goes into 4209 4 times with a remainder of 321.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 104.0
Deduct 3888 from 4209 and we're left with 321.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 321, then carry on: 3214 / 972

Moving on to step 7:
972 can be fit into 3214 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 298.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1043.0
If we take 2916 away from 3214, we end up with 298.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 298 and repeat the process: 2988 / 972

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 2988 by 972, we get 3 with a remainder of 72.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10433.0
Subtracting 2916 from 2988 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 9:
720 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 720.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10433.0
Subtract 0 from 720 to get 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 7200 by 972, we get 7 with a remainder of 396.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10433.07
Subtract 6804 from 7200 to get 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
972 goes into 3960 4 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10433.074
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 3888 from 3960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 972 fits into 720 0 times, leaving a remainder of 720.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10433.074
If we subtract 0 from 720, we get 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 7200 by 972, we get 7 with a remainder of 396.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10433.07407
Deduct 6804 from 7200 and we're left with 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 972 fits into 3960 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10433.074074
If we subtract 3888 from 3960, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 720 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 720.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10433.074074
Subtracting 0 from 720 leaves us with 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

Step 16:
972 can be fit into 7200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 396.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10433.07407407
Deduct 6804 from 7200 and we're left with 396.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3960, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10433.07407407, and the remainder is 3.96e-07.
