We look at the division of 1972421 by 288 
We're looking to find how many times 288 goes into 1972421.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 288, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 288

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 288 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 197 / 288

On to step 3:
The number 288 fits into 197 0 times, leaving a remainder of 197.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 197 to get 197.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 197 and repeat the process: 1972 / 288

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 288 fits into 1972 6 times, leaving a remainder of 244.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 1728 from 1972, we get 244.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 244, then repeat: 2444 / 288

Let's proceed to step 5:
2444 divided by 288 is 8 with a remainder of 140.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 68.0
Subtract 2304 from 2444 to get 140.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 140 and repeat the process: 1402 / 288

On to step 6:
When dividing 1402 by 288, we get 4 with a remainder of 250.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 684.0
Subtracting 1152 from 1402 leaves us with 250.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 250 and continue with: 2501 / 288

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 288 fits into 2501 8 times, leaving a remainder of 197.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6848.0
The remainder is 197 after subtracting 2304 from 2501.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1970, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
288 goes into 1970 6 times with a remainder of 242.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6848.6
If we subtract 1728 from 1970, we get 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 288 fits into 2420 8 times, leaving a remainder of 116.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6848.68
If we take 2304 away from 2420, we end up with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 288 fits into 1160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6848.684
Deduct 1152 from 1160 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
288 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6848.684
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 288 fits into 800 2 times, leaving a remainder of 224.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6848.68402
The remainder is 224 after subtracting 576 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
2240 divided by 288 is 7 with a remainder of 224.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6848.684027
Subtract 2016 from 2240 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 2240 by 288, we get 7 and a remainder of 224.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6848.6840277
Deduct 2016 from 2240 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.

The quotient of the division is 6848.6840277, and the remainder is 2.24e-06.
