972474 ÷ 77 
Our goal is to divide 972474 by 77.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 77, 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.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 77

Going ahead to step 2:
77 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 77 from 97 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 202 / 77

On to step 3:
77 goes into 202 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 154 from 202 leaves us with 48.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 484 / 77

Going ahead to step 4:
484 divided by 77 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 126.0
If we subtract 462 from 484, we get 22.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 227 / 77

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 227 by 77, we get 2 with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1262.0
If we take 154 away from 227, we end up with 73.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 734 / 77

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 77 fits into 734 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12629.0
Subtracting 693 from 734 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 410 by 77, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12629.5
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 385 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 250 by 77, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12629.53
If we subtract 231 from 250, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 190 by 77, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12629.532
Subtracting 154 from 190 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
77 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12629.5324
If we subtract 308 from 360, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
520 divided by 77 is 6 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12629.53246
Subtract 462 from 520 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
580 divided by 77 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12629.532467
Subtracting 539 from 580 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
77 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12629.5324675
If we take 385 away from 410, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 77 fits into 250 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12629.53246753
Deduct 231 from 250 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12629.53246753 with a balance of 1.9e-08.
