12672988 ÷ 972 
Our goal is to divide 12672988 by 972.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 972

Moving on to step 2:
972 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 126 / 972

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 126 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 126.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 126, we end up with 126.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 126 and continue with: 1267 / 972

Step 4:
972 goes into 1267 1 times with a remainder of 295.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 972 away from 1267, we end up with 295.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 295, then carry on: 2952 / 972

Advancing to step 5:
972 goes into 2952 3 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 2916 from 2952, we get 36.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 369 / 972

Step 6:
972 can be fit into 369 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 369.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 130.0
Subtract 0 from 369 to get 369.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 369, then repeat: 3698 / 972

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 3698 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 782.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1303.0
If we take 2916 away from 3698, we end up with 782.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 782, then repeat: 7828 / 972

Step 8:
972 can be fit into 7828 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13038.0
Subtract 7776 from 7828 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
972 can be fit into 520 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 520.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13038.0
Subtracting 0 from 520 leaves us with 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
972 can be fit into 5200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 340.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13038.05
Subtract 4860 from 5200 to get 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 972 fits into 3400 3 times, leaving a remainder of 484.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13038.053
Subtract 2916 from 3400 to get 484.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 4840 by 972, we get 4 with a remainder of 952.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13038.0534
The remainder is 952 after subtracting 3888 from 4840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 9520 by 972, we get 9 and a remainder of 772.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13038.05349
Subtract 8748 from 9520 to get 772.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
972 can be fit into 7720 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 916.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13038.053497
The remainder is 916 after subtracting 6804 from 7720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9160, and continue the process.

Step 15:
9160 divided by 972 is 9 with a remainder of 412.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13038.0534979
Subtract 8748 from 9160 to get 412.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4120, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
972 can be fit into 4120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 232.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13038.05349794
Subtracting 3888 from 4120 leaves us with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13038.05349794 and a remainder of 2.32e-07.
