12977252 ÷ 738 
We're looking to find how many times 738 goes into 12977252.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 738, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 738

Step 2:
12 divided by 738 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 738

Going ahead to step 3:
129 divided by 738 is 0 with a remainder of 129.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 129 to get 129.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 129, then carry on: 1297 / 738

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 1297 by 738, we get 1 and a remainder of 559.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 559 after subtracting 738 from 1297.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 559 and continue with: 5597 / 738

Going ahead to step 5:
738 can be fit into 5597 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 431.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 5166 from 5597 and we're left with 431.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 431 and repeat the process: 4312 / 738

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 4312 by 738, we get 5 with a remainder of 622.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 175.0
Deduct 3690 from 4312 and we're left with 622.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 622, then carry on: 6225 / 738

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 738 fits into 6225 8 times, leaving a remainder of 321.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1758.0
If we take 5904 away from 6225, we end up with 321.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 321, then repeat: 3212 / 738

Step 8:
738 can be fit into 3212 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 260.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17584.0
Subtracting 2952 from 3212 leaves us 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 9:
738 can be fit into 2600 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 386.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17584.3
If we take 2214 away from 2600, we end up with 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
3860 divided by 738 is 5 with a remainder of 170.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17584.35
Subtracting 3690 from 3860 leaves us with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 1700 by 738, we get 2 and a remainder of 224.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17584.352
Deduct 1476 from 1700 and we're left with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
2240 divided by 738 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17584.3523
If we subtract 2214 from 2240, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
738 goes into 260 0 times with a remainder of 260.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17584.3523
If we subtract 0 from 260, we get 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Step 14:
738 goes into 2600 3 times with a remainder of 386.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17584.352303
If we subtract 2214 from 2600, we get 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 3860 by 738, we get 5 with a remainder of 170.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17584.3523035
Subtract 3690 from 3860 to get 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
738 goes into 1700 2 times with a remainder of 224.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17584.35230352
Subtract 1476 from 1700 to get 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 17584.35230352, and the remainder is 2.24e-07.
