Let's divide 6985849 by 972
Our goal is to divide 6985849 by 972.

Moving on to step 1:
972 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 972

Let's proceed to step 2:
972 can be fit into 69 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 69 to get 69.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 698 / 972

Advancing to step 3:
972 goes into 698 0 times with a remainder of 698.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 698 leaves us with 698.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 698 and continue: 6985 / 972

Moving on to step 4:
6985 divided by 972 is 7 with a remainder of 181.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 6804 from 6985 to get 181.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 181, then repeat: 1818 / 972

Let's proceed to step 5:
1818 divided by 972 is 1 with a remainder of 846.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we subtract 972 from 1818, we get 846.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 846 and continue: 8464 / 972

On to step 6:
The number 972 fits into 8464 8 times, leaving a remainder of 688.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 718.0
The remainder is 688 after subtracting 7776 from 8464.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 688 and repeat the process: 6889 / 972

Going ahead to step 7:
972 goes into 6889 7 times with a remainder of 85.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7187.0
If we take 6804 away from 6889, we end up with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
850 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 850.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7187.0
The remainder is 850 after subtracting 0 from 850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
8500 divided by 972 is 8 with a remainder of 724.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7187.08
The remainder is 724 after subtracting 7776 from 8500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
972 goes into 7240 7 times with a remainder of 436.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7187.087
Deduct 6804 from 7240 and we're left with 436.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
972 goes into 4360 4 times with a remainder of 472.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7187.0874
If we subtract 3888 from 4360, we get 472.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4720, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
972 goes into 4720 4 times with a remainder of 832.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7187.08744
Deduct 3888 from 4720 and we're left with 832.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8320, and continue the process.

The final result is 7187.08744 with a remainder of 0.000832.
