972 ÷ 69 
We want to divide 972 by 69.

Going ahead to step 1:
69 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 69

Advancing to step 2:
69 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 69 from 97 to get 28.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 282 / 69

On to step 3:
When dividing 282 by 69, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 276 from 282 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 4:
60 divided by 69 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 600 by 69, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.08
If we subtract 552 from 600, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 6:
69 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.086
Subtract 414 from 480 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 660 by 69, we get 9 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14.0869
Subtract 621 from 660 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
390 divided by 69 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.08695
Deduct 345 from 390 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 69 fits into 450 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.086956
If we subtract 414 from 450, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
69 goes into 360 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0869565
Deduct 345 from 360 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
69 can be fit into 150 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.08695652
If we take 138 away from 150, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 14.08695652 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
