Let's divide 83687817 by 972
We're looking to find how many times 972 goes into 83687817.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 972

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 83 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 83.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 83, we end up with 83.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 83, then repeat: 836 / 972

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 836 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 836.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 836, we get 836.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 836 and repeat the process: 8368 / 972

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 972 fits into 8368 8 times, leaving a remainder of 592.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 7776 from 8368 leaves us with 592.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 592 and repeat the process: 5927 / 972

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 972 fits into 5927 6 times, leaving a remainder of 95.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we take 5832 away from 5927, we end up with 95.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 95 and repeat the process: 958 / 972

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 972 fits into 958 0 times, leaving a remainder of 958.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 860.0
Subtracting 0 from 958 leaves us with 958.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 958 and continue with: 9581 / 972

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 9581 by 972, we get 9 and a remainder of 833.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8609.0
Subtract 8748 from 9581 to get 833.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 833 and repeat the process: 8337 / 972

Moving on to step 8:
972 can be fit into 8337 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 561.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 86098.0
Subtract 7776 from 8337 to get 561.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
5610 divided by 972 is 5 with a remainder of 750.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86098.5
Subtract 4860 from 5610 to get 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
972 goes into 7500 7 times with a remainder of 696.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 86098.57
Subtracting 6804 from 7500 leaves us with 696.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
972 can be fit into 6960 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 156.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86098.577
If we take 6804 away from 6960, we end up with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 86098.577 with a remaining 0.0156.
