We're dividing 53786682 by 972 
Our goal is to divide 53786682 by 972.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 972

Moving on to step 2:
The number 972 fits into 53 0 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 0 from 53.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 537 / 972

Going ahead to step 3:
537 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 537.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 537 and we're left with 537.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 537, then repeat: 5378 / 972

On to step 4:
972 goes into 5378 5 times with a remainder of 518.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4860 from 5378, we get 518.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 518, then repeat: 5186 / 972

On to step 5:
972 can be fit into 5186 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 326.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 4860 from 5186 and we're left with 326.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 326 and continue with: 3266 / 972

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 3266 by 972, we get 3 with a remainder of 350.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 553.0
If we take 2916 away from 3266, we end up with 350.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 350 and continue: 3508 / 972

Going ahead to step 7:
972 goes into 3508 3 times with a remainder of 592.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5533.0
Subtract 2916 from 3508 to get 592.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 592 and continue: 5922 / 972

On to step 8:
The number 972 fits into 5922 6 times, leaving a remainder of 90.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55336.0
Deduct 5832 from 5922 and we're left with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 900 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 900.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55336.0
The remainder is 900 after subtracting 0 from 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 972 fits into 9000 9 times, leaving a remainder of 252.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55336.09
The remainder is 252 after subtracting 8748 from 9000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
972 goes into 2520 2 times with a remainder of 576.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55336.092
Deduct 1944 from 2520 and we're left with 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 972 fits into 5760 5 times, leaving a remainder of 900.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55336.0925
If we subtract 4860 from 5760, we get 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
972 goes into 9000 9 times with a remainder of 252.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55336.09259
If we subtract 8748 from 9000, we get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 2520 by 972, we get 2 and a remainder of 576.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 55336.092592
The remainder is 576 after subtracting 1944 from 2520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
972 goes into 5760 5 times with a remainder of 900.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55336.0925925
If we take 4860 away from 5760, we end up with 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
972 goes into 9000 9 times with a remainder of 252.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55336.09259259
The remainder is 252 after subtracting 8748 from 9000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

The final result is 55336.09259259 with a remainder of 2.52e-07.
