69 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 69.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 69 to get 69.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 694 / 972

Let's proceed to step 3:
694 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 694.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 694 and we're left with 694.

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 6948 by 972, we get 7 with a remainder of 144.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 6804 from 6948, we get 144.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 144 and continue: 1442 / 972

Advancing to step 5:
972 can be fit into 1442 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 470.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71.0
The remainder is 470 after subtracting 972 from 1442.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 470 and continue with: 4707 / 972

Let's proceed to step 6:
4707 divided by 972 is 4 with a remainder of 819.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 714.0
Subtract 3888 from 4707 to get 819.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 819 and continue with: 8193 / 972

On to step 7:
972 goes into 8193 8 times with a remainder of 417.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7148.0
The remainder is 417 after subtracting 7776 from 8193.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 417 and continue: 4178 / 972

On to step 8:
972 goes into 4178 4 times with a remainder of 290.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71484.0
Subtracting 3888 from 4178 leaves us with 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
972 goes into 2900 2 times with a remainder of 956.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71484.2
The remainder is 956 after subtracting 1944 from 2900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 972 fits into 9560 9 times, leaving a remainder of 812.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71484.29
Deduct 8748 from 9560 and we're left with 812.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
8120 divided by 972 is 8 with a remainder of 344.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71484.298
If we subtract 7776 from 8120, we get 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
972 can be fit into 3440 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 524.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71484.2983
If we subtract 2916 from 3440, we get 524.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5240, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
972 can be fit into 5240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 380.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71484.29835
Subtract 4860 from 5240 to get 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3800, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 3800 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 884.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71484.298353
The remainder is 884 after subtracting 2916 from 3800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8840, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 8840 by 972, we get 9 and a remainder of 92.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71484.2983539
The remainder is 92 after subtracting 8748 from 8840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
972 can be fit into 920 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 920.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71484.2983539
Subtracting 0 from 920 leaves us with 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 71484.2983539 with a balance of 9.2e-07.
