40124847 ÷ 972 
We want to divide 40124847 by 972.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 972

On to step 2:
972 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 401 / 972

Advancing to step 3:
972 can be fit into 401 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 401.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 401 to get 401.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 401, then carry on: 4012 / 972

Step 4:
If we divide 4012 by 972, we get 4 and a remainder of 124.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3888 from 4012 and we're left with 124.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 124 and continue: 1244 / 972

Moving on to step 5:
1244 divided by 972 is 1 with a remainder of 272.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we subtract 972 from 1244, we get 272.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 272, then carry on: 2728 / 972

Step 6:
The number 972 fits into 2728 2 times, leaving a remainder of 784.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 412.0
If we take 1944 away from 2728, we end up with 784.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 784, then repeat: 7844 / 972

On to step 7:
7844 divided by 972 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4128.0
Subtract 7776 from 7844 to get 68.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 687 / 972

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 687 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 687.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41280.0
Deduct 0 from 687 and we're left with 687.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6870, and continue the process.

Step 9:
972 can be fit into 6870 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 41280.7
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 6804 from 6870.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Step 10:
972 can be fit into 660 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 660.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41280.7
Deduct 0 from 660 and we're left with 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
972 goes into 6600 6 times with a remainder of 768.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41280.706
Subtract 5832 from 6600 to get 768.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 972 fits into 7680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 876.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41280.7067
Deduct 6804 from 7680 and we're left with 876.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8760, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 972 fits into 8760 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 41280.70679
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 8748 from 8760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 14:
972 can be fit into 120 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 120.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41280.70679
Subtract 0 from 120 to get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 1200 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 228.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 41280.7067901
If we subtract 972 from 1200, we get 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
2280 divided by 972 is 2 with a remainder of 336.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41280.70679012
If we subtract 1944 from 2280, we get 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 41280.70679012, and the remainder is 3.36e-07.
