We look at the division of 972961 by 66 
We're looking to find how many times 66 goes into 972961.

Advancing to step 1:
66 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 66

On to step 2:
The number 66 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 66 from 97 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 312 / 66

Advancing to step 3:
66 can be fit into 312 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 264 away from 312, we end up with 48.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 489 / 66

Let's proceed to step 4:
66 can be fit into 489 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 147.0
If we subtract 462 from 489, we get 27.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 276 / 66

Advancing to step 5:
The number 66 fits into 276 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1474.0
If we take 264 away from 276, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 121 / 66

Advancing to step 6:
66 goes into 121 1 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14741.0
Subtracting 66 from 121 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
550 divided by 66 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 14741.8
Subtracting 528 from 550 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
66 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14741.83
Subtract 198 from 220 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
220 divided by 66 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14741.833
If we subtract 198 from 220, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 14741.833 and a remainder of 0.0022.
