Let's divide 40248314 by 972
We want to figure out the number of times 40248314 can be divided by 972.

Step 1:
The number 972 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 972

On to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 402 / 972

Let's proceed to step 3:
402 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 402.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 402 to get 402.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 402, then repeat: 4024 / 972

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 4024 by 972, we get 4 and a remainder of 136.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3888 from 4024 and we're left with 136.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 136 and continue: 1368 / 972

On to step 5:
972 goes into 1368 1 times with a remainder of 396.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we take 972 away from 1368, we end up with 396.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 396, then repeat: 3963 / 972

Step 6:
972 goes into 3963 4 times with a remainder of 75.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 414.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 3888 from 3963.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 75 and continue with: 751 / 972

Step 7:
972 can be fit into 751 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 751.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4140.0
Subtract 0 from 751 to get 751.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 751, then repeat: 7514 / 972

On to step 8:
972 can be fit into 7514 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 710.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41407.0
Subtract 6804 from 7514 to get 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
972 can be fit into 7100 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 296.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41407.7
Subtract 6804 from 7100 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 972 fits into 2960 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41407.73
If we subtract 2916 from 2960, we get 44.
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 11:
972 can be fit into 440 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 440.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41407.73
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 972 fits into 4400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 512.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41407.7304
If we take 3888 away from 4400, we end up with 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 13:
When dividing 5120 by 972, we get 5 with a remainder of 260.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41407.73045
Deduct 4860 from 5120 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 2600 by 972, we get 2 and a remainder of 656.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41407.730452
If we take 1944 away from 2600, we end up with 656.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6560, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 6560 by 972, we get 6 with a remainder of 728.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41407.7304526
If we subtract 5832 from 6560, we get 728.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
7280 divided by 972 is 7 with a remainder of 476.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41407.73045267
Deduct 6804 from 7280 and we're left with 476.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

Our division results in 41407.73045267 with a remaining 4.76e-07.
