We're dividing 23279503 by 972 
Let's see how many times 972 fits into 23279503.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 972

On to step 2:
972 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 232 / 972

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 232 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 232.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 232, we get 232.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 232, then carry on: 2327 / 972

Step 4:
If we divide 2327 by 972, we get 2 and a remainder of 383.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 1944 from 2327 and we're left with 383.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 383 and continue: 3839 / 972

Advancing to step 5:
972 can be fit into 3839 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 923.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 2916 from 3839 leaves us with 923.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 923, then repeat: 9235 / 972

Step 6:
If we divide 9235 by 972, we get 9 and a remainder of 487.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 239.0
If we subtract 8748 from 9235, we get 487.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 487, then carry on: 4870 / 972

Going ahead to step 7:
972 can be fit into 4870 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2395.0
If we take 4860 away from 4870, we end up with 10.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 103 / 972

Going ahead to step 8:
972 goes into 103 0 times with a remainder of 103.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23950.0
Subtracting 0 from 103 leaves us with 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 1030 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 58.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23950.1
If we take 972 away from 1030, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
972 goes into 580 0 times with a remainder of 580.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23950.1
If we subtract 0 from 580, we get 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
972 goes into 5800 5 times with a remainder of 940.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23950.105
If we subtract 4860 from 5800, we get 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
972 can be fit into 9400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 652.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23950.1059
If we subtract 8748 from 9400, we get 652.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6520, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 972 fits into 6520 6 times, leaving a remainder of 688.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23950.10596
If we take 5832 away from 6520, we end up with 688.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 6880 by 972, we get 7 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23950.105967
Deduct 6804 from 6880 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 760 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 760.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23950.105967
Deduct 0 from 760 and we're left with 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 972 fits into 7600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 796.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23950.10596707
If we take 6804 away from 7600, we end up with 796.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7960, and continue the process.

The final result is 23950.10596707 with a remainder of 7.96e-07.
