Let's divide 55809472 by 972
We're looking to find how many times 972 goes into 55809472.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 972

Step 2:
972 goes into 55 0 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 558 / 972

Let's proceed to step 3:
558 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 558.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 558 leaves us with 558.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 558, then repeat: 5580 / 972

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 5580 by 972, we get 5 with a remainder of 720.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4860 from 5580, we get 720.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 720, then carry on: 7209 / 972

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 7209 by 972, we get 7 and a remainder of 405.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 405 after subtracting 6804 from 7209.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 405, then carry on: 4054 / 972

Let's proceed to step 6:
972 goes into 4054 4 times with a remainder of 166.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 574.0
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 3888 from 4054.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 166 and continue with: 1667 / 972

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 1667 by 972, we get 1 and a remainder of 695.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5741.0
Subtracting 972 from 1667 leaves us with 695.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 695, then repeat: 6952 / 972

Advancing to step 8:
972 goes into 6952 7 times with a remainder of 148.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57417.0
Subtract 6804 from 6952 to get 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 1480 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 508.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57417.1
Deduct 972 from 1480 and we're left with 508.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 972 fits into 5080 5 times, leaving a remainder of 220.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57417.15
If we subtract 4860 from 5080, we get 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 2200 by 972, we get 2 with a remainder of 256.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57417.152
The remainder is 256 after subtracting 1944 from 2200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
972 can be fit into 2560 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 616.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57417.1522
Subtracting 1944 from 2560 leaves us with 616.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6160, and continue the process.

The final result is 57417.1522 with a remainder of 0.00616.
