If we subtract 8766 from 9552, we get 786.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 786 and continue: 7869 / 974

Going ahead to step 6:
974 can be fit into 7869 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 398.0
Subtracting 7792 from 7869 leaves us with 77.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 77, then repeat: 777 / 974

Advancing to step 7:
The number 974 fits into 777 0 times, leaving a remainder of 777.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3980.0
If we subtract 0 from 777, we get 777.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 777, then repeat: 7773 / 974

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 7773 by 974, we get 7 with a remainder of 955.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 39807.0
Subtract 6818 from 7773 to get 955.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9550, and continue the process.

Step 9:
974 goes into 9550 9 times with a remainder of 784.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39807.9
Subtract 8766 from 9550 to get 784.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
7840 divided by 974 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39807.98
Deduct 7792 from 7840 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 974, we get 0 with a remainder of 480.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39807.98
The remainder is 480 after subtracting 0 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 4800 by 974, we get 4 and a remainder of 904.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39807.9804
If we take 3896 away from 4800, we end up with 904.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
974 goes into 9040 9 times with a remainder of 274.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39807.98049
The remainder is 274 after subtracting 8766 from 9040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 974 fits into 2740 2 times, leaving a remainder of 792.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 39807.980492
Subtract 1948 from 2740 to get 792.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
974 goes into 7920 8 times with a remainder of 128.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39807.9804928
If we take 7792 away from 7920, we end up with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
When dividing 1280 by 974, we get 1 with a remainder of 306.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39807.98049281
Subtracting 974 from 1280 leaves us with 306.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3060, and continue the process.

The final result is 39807.98049281 with a remainder of 3.06e-07.
