28117242 ÷ 972 
Our goal is to divide 28117242 by 972.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 972 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 972

On to step 2:
The number 972 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 281 / 972

Let's proceed to step 3:
972 goes into 281 0 times with a remainder of 281.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 281, we end up with 281.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 281, then carry on: 2811 / 972

Step 4:
The number 972 fits into 2811 2 times, leaving a remainder of 867.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 1944 away from 2811, we end up with 867.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 867 and continue: 8677 / 972

Moving on to step 5:
The number 972 fits into 8677 8 times, leaving a remainder of 901.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 901 after subtracting 7776 from 8677.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 901, then carry on: 9012 / 972

Let's proceed to step 6:
9012 divided by 972 is 9 with a remainder of 264.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 289.0
Subtract 8748 from 9012 to get 264.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 264 and continue: 2644 / 972

Let's proceed to step 7:
972 goes into 2644 2 times with a remainder of 700.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2892.0
The remainder is 700 after subtracting 1944 from 2644.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 700 and repeat the process: 7002 / 972

Let's proceed to step 8:
972 can be fit into 7002 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 198.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 28927.0
If we subtract 6804 from 7002, we get 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 972 fits into 1980 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28927.2
Deduct 1944 from 1980 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 360 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 360.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28927.2
Deduct 0 from 360 and we're left with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 3600 by 972, we get 3 with a remainder of 684.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28927.203
The remainder is 684 after subtracting 2916 from 3600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
6840 divided by 972 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28927.2037
Subtract 6804 from 6840 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
972 goes into 360 0 times with a remainder of 360.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28927.2037
Subtracting 0 from 360 leaves us with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 972 fits into 3600 3 times, leaving a remainder of 684.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28927.203703
The remainder is 684 after subtracting 2916 from 3600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
6840 divided by 972 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28927.2037037
If we take 6804 away from 6840, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 972 fits into 360 0 times, leaving a remainder of 360.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28927.2037037
If we subtract 0 from 360, we get 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 28927.2037037, with a leftover of 3.6e-07.
