Let's divide 72996196 by 972
We want to divide 72996196 by 972.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 972

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 72 and we're left with 72.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 729 / 972

On to step 3:
When dividing 729 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 729.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 729 to get 729.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 729, then repeat: 7299 / 972

On to step 4:
If we divide 7299 by 972, we get 7 and a remainder of 495.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 6804 away from 7299, we end up with 495.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 495, then repeat: 4956 / 972

Step 5:
972 goes into 4956 5 times with a remainder of 96.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtract 4860 from 4956 to get 96.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 96, then repeat: 961 / 972

Going ahead to step 6:
972 goes into 961 0 times with a remainder of 961.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 750.0
If we take 0 away from 961, we end up with 961.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 961 and continue with: 9619 / 972

Let's proceed to step 7:
9619 divided by 972 is 9 with a remainder of 871.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7509.0
If we subtract 8748 from 9619, we get 871.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 871, then repeat: 8716 / 972

Advancing to step 8:
The number 972 fits into 8716 8 times, leaving a remainder of 940.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75098.0
The remainder is 940 after subtracting 7776 from 8716.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
9400 divided by 972 is 9 with a remainder of 652.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 75098.9
Subtracting 8748 from 9400 leaves us with 652.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6520, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 6520 by 972, we get 6 and a remainder of 688.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75098.96
Subtract 5832 from 6520 to get 688.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6880, and continue the process.

Step 11:
6880 divided by 972 is 7 with a remainder of 76.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 75098.967
If we subtract 6804 from 6880, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 760 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 760.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 75098.967
Subtract 0 from 760 to get 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 7600 by 972, we get 7 and a remainder of 796.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 75098.96707
If we subtract 6804 from 7600, we get 796.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7960, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 7960 by 972, we get 8 and a remainder of 184.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 75098.967078
If we take 7776 away from 7960, we end up with 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 1840 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 868.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 75098.9670781
The remainder is 868 after subtracting 972 from 1840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 972 fits into 8680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 904.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 75098.96707818
If we subtract 7776 from 8680, we get 904.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9040, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 75098.96707818 with a balance of 9.04e-07.
