We're dividing 86556556 by 972 
Our goal is to divide 86556556 by 972.

Advancing to step 1:
972 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 972

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 86 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 0 from 86.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 865 / 972

Step 3:
865 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 865.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 865 leaves us with 865.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 865 and repeat the process: 8655 / 972

Moving on to step 4:
8655 divided by 972 is 8 with a remainder of 879.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 7776 away from 8655, we end up with 879.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 879, then repeat: 8796 / 972

Advancing to step 5:
8796 divided by 972 is 9 with a remainder of 48.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89.0
Subtracting 8748 from 8796 leaves us with 48.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 485 / 972

Step 6:
If we divide 485 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 485.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 890.0
Subtracting 0 from 485 leaves us with 485.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 485, then repeat: 4855 / 972

Moving on to step 7:
972 goes into 4855 4 times with a remainder of 967.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8904.0
Subtracting 3888 from 4855 leaves us with 967.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 967 and continue with: 9676 / 972

Step 8:
When dividing 9676 by 972, we get 9 with a remainder of 928.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89049.0
Subtracting 8748 from 9676 leaves us with 928.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 972 fits into 9280 9 times, leaving a remainder of 532.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89049.9
The remainder is 532 after subtracting 8748 from 9280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
5320 divided by 972 is 5 with a remainder of 460.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 89049.95
If we take 4860 away from 5320, we end up with 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 972 fits into 4600 4 times, leaving a remainder of 712.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89049.954
The remainder is 712 after subtracting 3888 from 4600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 972 fits into 7120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 316.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 89049.9547
The remainder is 316 after subtracting 6804 from 7120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 3160 by 972, we get 3 with a remainder of 244.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 89049.95473
The remainder is 244 after subtracting 2916 from 3160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 2440 by 972, we get 2 with a remainder of 496.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 89049.954732
Subtracting 1944 from 2440 leaves us with 496.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4960, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
972 can be fit into 4960 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 100.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89049.9547325
Subtract 4860 from 4960 to get 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
972 goes into 1000 1 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89049.95473251
Subtracting 972 from 1000 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 89049.95473251 and a remainder of 2.8e-08.
