8972902 divided by 247 
We're looking to find how many times 247 goes into 8972902.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 247, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 247

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 89 by 247, we get 0 and a remainder of 89.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 89, we end up with 89.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 89 and repeat the process: 897 / 247

Moving on to step 3:
The number 247 fits into 897 3 times, leaving a remainder of 156.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 741 from 897 and we're left with 156.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 156 and repeat the process: 1562 / 247

Moving on to step 4:
247 can be fit into 1562 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 1482 from 1562.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 80, then repeat: 809 / 247

On to step 5:
When dividing 809 by 247, we get 3 with a remainder of 68.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 363.0
Deduct 741 from 809 and we're left with 68.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 680 / 247

Advancing to step 6:
The number 247 fits into 680 2 times, leaving a remainder of 186.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3632.0
Deduct 494 from 680 and we're left with 186.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 186, then carry on: 1862 / 247

Step 7:
1862 divided by 247 is 7 with a remainder of 133.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36327.0
Subtract 1729 from 1862 to get 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
1330 divided by 247 is 5 with a remainder of 95.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 36327.5
The remainder is 95 after subtracting 1235 from 1330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 950 by 247, we get 3 with a remainder of 209.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36327.53
If we subtract 741 from 950, we get 209.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2090, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 2090 by 247, we get 8 with a remainder of 114.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36327.538
The remainder is 114 after subtracting 1976 from 2090.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
1140 divided by 247 is 4 with a remainder of 152.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 36327.5384
If we take 988 away from 1140, we end up with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Step 12:
1520 divided by 247 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36327.53846
Deduct 1482 from 1520 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 13:
380 divided by 247 is 1 with a remainder of 133.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 36327.538461
The remainder is 133 after subtracting 247 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
1330 divided by 247 is 5 with a remainder of 95.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36327.5384615
The remainder is 95 after subtracting 1235 from 1330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 950 by 247, we get 3 with a remainder of 209.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36327.53846153
Subtract 741 from 950 to get 209.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2090, and continue the process.

Our division results in 36327.53846153 with a remaining 2.09e-07.
