Let's divide 972462 by 25
We're looking to find how many times 25 goes into 972462.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 25, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 25

Step 2:
When dividing 97 by 25, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 75 from 97 to get 22.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 222 / 25

Advancing to step 3:
The number 25 fits into 222 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 200 from 222 and we're left with 22.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 224 / 25

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 25 fits into 224 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 388.0
Subtract 200 from 224 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 246 / 25

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 246 by 25, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3889.0
If we take 225 away from 246, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 212 / 25

Going ahead to step 6:
25 goes into 212 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38898.0
Subtracting 200 from 212 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
25 goes into 120 4 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38898.4
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 100 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 25, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38898.48
Subtracting 200 from 200 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
25 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38898.48
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
25 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38898.48
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 38898.48, with a leftover of 0.0.
