We look at the division of 972034 by 46 
We want to divide 972034 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 46

On to step 2:
97 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 92 from 97 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
52 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 46 away from 52, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 60 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 211.0
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 143 / 46

On to step 5:
When dividing 143 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2113.0
Deduct 138 from 143 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 46

On to step 6:
46 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21131.0
If we take 46 away from 54, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21131.1
If we take 46 away from 80, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21131.17
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 322 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21131.173
If we subtract 138 from 180, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
420 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21131.1739
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 414 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 11:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21131.17391
Subtract 46 from 60 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
46 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21131.173913
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
20 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21131.173913
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 21131.17391304
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 21131.17391304 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
