We're dividing 18954737 by 972 
We're looking to find how many times 972 goes into 18954737.

Step 1:
1 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 972

On to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 972

On to step 3:
If we divide 189 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 189.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 189 to get 189.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 189 and repeat the process: 1895 / 972

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 1895 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 923.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 972 from 1895 and we're left with 923.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 923 and continue with: 9234 / 972

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 9234 by 972, we get 9 and a remainder of 486.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 8748 from 9234 leaves us with 486.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 486, then repeat: 4867 / 972

On to step 6:
972 goes into 4867 5 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 195.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 4860 from 4867.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 972

On to step 7:
The number 972 fits into 73 0 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1950.0
Subtracting 0 from 73 leaves us with 73.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 737 / 972

Step 8:
The number 972 fits into 737 0 times, leaving a remainder of 737.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19500.0
Subtract 0 from 737 to get 737.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7370, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
972 goes into 7370 7 times with a remainder of 566.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19500.7
Subtract 6804 from 7370 to get 566.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
972 goes into 5660 5 times with a remainder of 800.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19500.75
Subtracting 4860 from 5660 leaves us with 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8000, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 8000 by 972, we get 8 and a remainder of 224.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19500.758
Deduct 7776 from 8000 and we're left with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
2240 divided by 972 is 2 with a remainder of 296.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19500.7582
If we subtract 1944 from 2240, we get 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 2960 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19500.75823
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 2916 from 2960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
972 goes into 440 0 times with a remainder of 440.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19500.75823
The remainder is 440 after subtracting 0 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Step 15:
972 goes into 4400 4 times with a remainder of 512.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19500.7582304
If we subtract 3888 from 4400, we get 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
972 goes into 5120 5 times with a remainder of 260.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19500.75823045
Subtracting 4860 from 5120 leaves us with 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

The final result is 19500.75823045 with a remainder of 2.6e-07.
