We look at the division of 5973251 by 972 
Our goal is to divide 5973251 by 972.

Advancing to step 1:
972 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 972

Going ahead to step 2:
972 can be fit into 59 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 59 leaves us with 59.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 597 / 972

Advancing to step 3:
972 goes into 597 0 times with a remainder of 597.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 597, we get 597.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 597 and repeat the process: 5973 / 972

Moving on to step 4:
972 goes into 5973 6 times with a remainder of 141.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 5832 from 5973 leaves us with 141.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 141 and continue: 1412 / 972

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 1412 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 440.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtracting 972 from 1412 leaves us with 440.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 440 and continue: 4405 / 972

On to step 6:
4405 divided by 972 is 4 with a remainder of 517.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 614.0
If we subtract 3888 from 4405, we get 517.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 517 and repeat the process: 5171 / 972

On to step 7:
972 can be fit into 5171 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 311.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6145.0
The remainder is 311 after subtracting 4860 from 5171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
972 can be fit into 3110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 194.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6145.3
If we subtract 2916 from 3110, we get 194.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 972 fits into 1940 1 times, leaving a remainder of 968.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6145.31
Deduct 972 from 1940 and we're left with 968.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
972 can be fit into 9680 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 932.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6145.319
If we take 8748 away from 9680, we end up with 932.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
972 can be fit into 9320 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 572.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6145.3199
The remainder is 572 after subtracting 8748 from 9320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6145.3199 with a balance of 0.00572.
